Hi, is it true that multiple Mediawiki websites must share the same database in order to share the same software? I have been combing the internet and this seems to be the case.

Hi, seems like there are some difficulties, using my proposed method to set up multi-wikis, so I am trying very, very hard to implement Daniel Barrett's idea which avoids trying to reinvent the wheel.
Actually, I have tried that before many years back but I could not understand the procedure. Now that I have acquired a little more knowledge and tried again by really, really putting by best foot forward, I still encounter the same problem. Would appreciate if you can help me find out what's wrong with what I do. Since it is easier to put it in a webpage, together with illustrating diagrams, I have rewrote this pagehttp://computer-stuffs.jbdirectory.com/My_directory_layout.
Thanking all of you in anticipation.... must do it right this time once and for all, LOL. It's being a long-time problem.

Hi Platonides, it is hard to answer your question without a diagram, so I try to explain it at one of my webpagehttp://computer-stuffs.jbdirectory.com/My_directory_layout. I hope my explanation is what you are seeking to find out. How would I know which file is run when the user goes to www.example.net? Would it be the corresponding LocalSettings.php?

Hi Platonides, thank you for your response.
I put all my mediawiki files into one folder called "commonmediawiki".
I
create separate folders for each website where I put the
LocalSettings.php
and the image folder. These separate folders (for each website),
together
with the "commonmediawiki" folder are one level below the html folder
which
is given by my webhost.
How to I interepret the following comment: "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."
What file is run when the user goes to www.example.net ? Where is it mapped?
