[Mediawiki-l] 2 instances of Wiki on 1 server

[Sam.Sexton at thomsonreuters.com]

I've done this recently, although I'm not sure about transclusion
between the sites - I haven't tried that. 

I simpy installed the software in two paths (e.g. htdocs/wiki1 and
htdocs/wiki2). You then navigate to each copy of the configuration
script and define the appropriate values for each instance - you'll
certainly want different table prefixes.

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] 2 instances of Wiki on 1 server




Dear All,
I am looking for some advice and guidance please.  I currently have 1
instance of MediaWiki running on the server in question.  I want to add
another Wiki, also running from the same server.  The second Wiki in
question, will house another project we are working on, and I envisage
information to be transcluded between the two sites.
What is best practice for having multiple Wiki's running on one server?
Do I download MediWiki and install again? Or can I use the existing
files but create a (new) separate Wiki.
Maybe another question to think about, but how would I then distinguish
between the 2 separate sites in IE?
Thanks for you help in advance.
David
