How to use wiki farm after MW 1.31 upgrade?

Hi girls & guys,

I am running a wiki farm with multiple wikis. The farm was archived by putting MW source code under /mediawiki folder. Then all other wikis have their own LocalSettings.php under their own folder, with linux soft link to point files/folders (such as index.php,includes,extensions, etc...) back to /mediawiki folder.

(We don't have space to copy MW source code hundreds of times.)

/www/mediawiki (all MW code, no config file, no web access)

/www/a

/www/b

/www/c

/www/d

...

Such settings work well since MW 1.25. However, after I upgrade the test wikis in test server from 1.30 to 1.31 today. None of these wiki's LocalSettings.php took effect.

They all show "LocalSettings.php not found." if no setting file under /mediawiki folder. If I do add a functional LocalSettings.php to /mediawiki folder, then all the other wikis now showing one same wiki.

What's wrong with MW 1.31? What can I do to get wiki farm running?

Thank you!

Just in case anyone have same or similar problem like I mentioned above. I got a temporary fix here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T203061 for your convenient.

It's not merged into Mediawiki core when I type this comment, and it's not resolved as well.
