Manual talk:Installation guide/Archive

Cross-domain installations
I operate several small wikis. Is there a way to have a single installation of Mediawiki that is used by multiple sites? Basically, I want mydomain1.com to have the full MediaWiki scripts, and mydomain2.com and mydomain3.com to run the same script but have a separate LocalSettings.php for each, so they can link to separate databases and have different extensions and skins. Then, when it comes time to upgrade MediaWiki, I only have to do it in one place instead of 3, and I use less space on my server. –Jonathan Kovaciny 02:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

References removed from Manual:Installation
Manual:Installation is now fully merged into the installation guide (previously it transcluded the main 3 pages with a small bit of extra info - not very user-friendly!).

I have not merged the 'see also' or external references, because they are currently a mish-mash off 'useful stuff' that people have posted without any coherent structure or order, with a lot of links that seem either overly specific or very much out of date.

We should probably have a place for this kind of link, but I'm not sure where. However, the links should be carefully selected for their usefulness and accuracy and it shouldn't just become a drive-by dumping ground.

Here is the content I removed:

Can't access Config directory
When I go to the wiki/config directory, Firefox asks me to download a PHTML file instead of taking me to a setup? What did I do wrong? all is wrong
