Hi All,
I need to have one machine host two MediaWikis. To achieve this, I
copied an existing wiki (called 'mediawiki3e') into the directory
structure of my primary wiki (called, simply, 'mediawiki'). I did the
copy as follows:
* copy SECONDWIKI/mysql/data/mediawiki to xxx/mysql/data/mediawiki3e
Forget about
doing this.
Instead make a dump of the source table with (mysqldump is a good
option, but you can also use phpmyadmin), beware of
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Backing_up_a_wiki#Character_set
Create new database, import there the dump.
