Thread:Project:Support desk/How can I set up multi-wiki by one Mediawiki source code?/reply (4)

There should be no problem with doing that. Just have to make sure all the different entry points resolve to the same mediawiki directory.

>single localsetting.php will cause some cache problem.

What do you mean?

Now all the tutorial that I found are talking about 3 different mediawiki using CommonSettings.php. I want to use single set of mediawiki code+3different localsetting.php which could let me change some mediawiki source code for all wiki easily.

You could have one LocalSettings.php file, which based on a switch statement loads one of LocalSettingsEn.php, LocalSettingsZh.php or LocalSettingsJa.php depending on what site is visited. Most setups recomend putting some settings in a common settings file (otherwise you have duplication) but you can certainly just have a bunch of totally independant settings files for each wiki.
