This page describes my SimpleFarm experience.

Installation
I use a MediaWiki 1.19.1 farm with the SimpleFarm 0.1rc extension that contains three wikis (PROJECT1, PROJECT2, PROJECT3) that share the same productive database. A second implementation contains the same wikis sharing a different test database for testing purpose. I keep all settings in a separate directory parallel to the mediawiki installation directory. Every wiki shall be called using a 'pretty' clean URL.

Settings
Due to the redirect from www.proddomain.com/testroot/wikiroot to www.testdomain.com/wikiroot, I can use the same setup files with settings in both domains.
