Hi,
I am trying to set up a wiki family with subdirectories based on
mediawiki 1.18.1 version ie.,
http://mysite.com/wiki1 and
http://mysite.com/wiki2
I am referring to the drupal-style settings documentation for the above
wiki family setup. The problem is even with the drupal-style
LocalSettings.php (which looks for a regular mediawiki-style
LocalSettings.php in the sites directory) in place, going to
http://mysite.com/wiki1 brings me up with the installer to generate a
LocalSettings.php.
Following the same drupal-style instructions, I was able to set up a
wiki family (subdirectories as above) successfully with mediawiki-1.16.1
version. I realize that there are many changes since 1.161.1, in
particular the $IP variable settings and
require_once("includes/DefaultSettings.php") were moved to
includes/WebStart.php from LocalSettings.php. Also new to 1.18.1 is the
HipHop compiler/interpreter. The paths in includes/WebStart.php are
either compiled/interpreted paths set by the hiphop library
"includes/Init.php".
I tried to modify the "includes/WebStart.php" in the old style, by
changing "MWInit::interpretedPath("LocalSettings.php") to
"($IP/LocalSettings.php"), but still I am being presented with the
installer going to
http://mysite.com/wiki1
Would you point to me how and where I should make changes to create a
wiki family with the 1.18.1 code base? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Poornima.
You should not be modifying core code to make wiki families.
You do that by adding conditionals into your LocalSettings.php and setting
configuration variables with different settings depending on where you are.
