is there some documentation somewhere on setting up multiple wiki's from the same server/install? I've seen references to it, including a refernce, but no more, to a CommonSettings.php Aaron
On my website wikinerds.org I tried this setup:
many directories with their own subdomains:
/somedir -> jnana.wikinerds.org /otherdir -> nerdypc.wikinerds.org /anotherdir -> adapedia.wikinerds.org et cetera...
in every directory there is a complete, autonomous, individual copy of MediaWiki. Actually it happens that many times the different directories have different versions of MediaWiki in them.
Every directory has its own LocalSettings.php file.
It is very important to have the wikiserver set to its subdomain and NOT to the grand domain (wikinerds.org), otherwise you will have serious problems with the cookies et cetera.
There is also a way to have a shared install of MediaWiki, but I haven't tried it.
Please let us know if you encounter any problems with this setup.
