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

[Pierre Labrecque]

Hello David,

I have multiple wikis running on the same web server. Here is what I have
done (maybe not the best way, but it work easily).

Here is the content of my htdocs directory :
Htdocs\wiki1
Htdocs\wiki2
Htdocs\wiki3
Htdocs\wiki4
Htdocs\wiki5
Htdocs\index.html

In the index.html (kind of Web Portal), I have 5 links, one for each wiki...

SO I give to all my users the link to the Web Portal (index.html) and from
there they go to the wiki they want.

Good luck !

Pierre

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
