Thread:Project:Support desk/Multiple Mediawiki Instances - Problems with Hoster

MediaWiki 	1.24.1 PHP 	5.5.26 (cgi-fcgi) MySQL 	5.1.73-1+deb6u1

So we have 2 Problems:

Use multiple Mediawikis with 2 Servers (2 Database Servers)

We have 2 Wikis running with SharedDB, the Main Wiki and external wiki for an Topic that deserves its own. Everything is working fine, now we want to host an other "Sub"-Wiki like before. But this time on an other Server. So we need something like $SharedDBServer = "Domain" so it does not use "localhost" of the Database.

Use multiple Mediawikis with diferent Database Users (each Database has it own User)

Second Problem is. If we move all Wikis do the new server, the new hoster does some strange things. If you create a new Database, it also creates a new database user. The Database "Wiki 1" has user "wiki 1" and Database "wiki 2" has user "wiki 2". So for this I need to have something like $SharedDBUser = "wiki 1".

Is there something besides CentralAuth which is super complex to switch to (from the SharedDB thing)

Regards
