and these are also configured on B, the internal wiki? 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?
