Hi, I still cannot understand the procedure given in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_family
However, the LocalSettings comments at the top says: # If you customize your file layout, set $IP to the directory that contains # the other MediaWiki files. It will be used as a base to locate files.
So I set $IP = "../commonmediawiki";
where commonmediawiki is the folder that contains all the mediawiki files. However, it is not working. My LocalSettings.php is contained within a folder that is at the same level as the commonmediawiki folder. Using "../" moves the directory pointer one level up before pointing to the commonmediawiki folder. Did I set the $IP correctly?

Thank you Daniel for your prompt reply. Actually I had tried that method before but I guess I didn't quite understand it. I was thinking that changing $IP at LocalSettings.php should work. Even if it fails, it would be a good learning experience.
In any case, I would try the suggested method also. Hopefully, I may understand it this time round. Still I would be glad if anyone can tell me how to reference a different folder at the same level as I may need it occasionally for other purposes.

Instead of inventing your own method, you can see how other people have done this:
