What does "you can use "listen" on the multiple server names. " mean exactly?

QUOTE: Enable your web server to share your MediaWiki install with all wikis.

For multiple (sub)domains, you can use "listen" on the multiple server names.

For multiple subdirectories, you could use: rewrite rules, aliases, or symlinks.

Bawolff hi again bawoff thanks for response.

It sounds like they are talking about virtual hosts (some web servers use a config directive named listen for that), but i agree its terribly phrased.

no idea; listen may refer to TCP listen.

1. LISTEN server TCP/IP call :::This LISTEN call tells the TCP⁄IP address space that the server is ready to begin accepting connections.

Is the statement trying to convey the following idea?

By specifying the correct IP address for each (sub)domain on the DNS server, each domain will point to the same web server.
