I am gonna change my setup. I am currently using a Linux box to host Mike2
(external website A) and a Windows machine for the internal site. I will
switch to Linux internally, set up an exact mirror of the public site and
try to use NFS over SSH between the two sites (
http://www.howtoforge.com/nfs_ssh_tunneling). I know that Wikipedia is run
on multiple, distributed server farms. Are you using the same setup then in
order to have all the Wikipedia project sites connect to Wikicommons to
transclude/include the media files?
Another option I am considering is to schedule a 1 minute cron job with
rscync over ssh to mirror the public site internally and then use
transclusion from a local server.
I will keep you posted on my experiments...
Thanks,
Andi

I read through the description on the below links, but I can't make
out which directory on what server I need to configure.
Yes, you tell B which db A uses (by default tries to access with the
same db login as B's) and on which local folder (for B) the images are
(for creating thumbnails).
ah, makes sense.
I tried the setup but got an error:
Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties.
Try waiting a few minutes and reloading.
(Can't contact the database server: Access denied for user
'wikiadmin'@'%'
to database ' wikidb@localhost' (localhost))
I also found an old posting regarding this issues:
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/mediawiki-l/2005-December/008696.html
It's a folder seen from B's server, so if
A
is on another computer you would mount it on B using a remote filesystem
like NFS.
mhh,. I will have to look into that because that has security
implications, right? Is there a way to have the thumbnail generation
somewhere else?
