[Mediawiki-l] Multiple wikis using same directory

[Mauro do Carmo]

Thank you folks,

I get three more questions though:

1- since there are two groups of table for each wiki, might there are two groups of user's accounts too. So if I have an account on
wiki1, I have to create another account on wiki2 if I want, right? Likewise, I have two wikiSysop, one for each wiki, and so on so
forth, right?

2- If one day I want to split those two wikis in two different folders, it seems like it would be very simple, right? I would just
need to copy the folder and readjust the LocalSettings.php, I guess...

3- I would like to know if that is all I need to have two wikis in the same folder:
==============
if ($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]=="es.wikipedia.uh.cu")
{
        $db_lang="es";
}
if ($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]=="en.wikipedia.uh.cu")
{
        $db_lang="en";
}

$wgDBserver         = "10.6.121.29";
$wgDBname           = "wiki";
$wgDBuser           = "wikipedia";
$wgDBpassword       = "wikipedia";
$wgDBprefix         = $db_lang;
$wgDBtype           = "mysql";
$wgDBport           = "5432";

(...)
$wgLanguageCode = $db_lang;
================

Regarding to the upload directory, if I want to use the same directory I guess I can leave up like it is not making any kind of
dependency of $db_lang, right?


Thanks a lot, 
mauro.

|I wish I knew. Good question! I look forward for the answer.
