Hello.
i would like to share a mediawiki installation on several different domains.
i tried following the instruction in Manual:Wiki family but i can't understand what i have to do after the pont number 5: "Installing a new wiki in the family is a matter of creating the database and importing the database template, and then running php maintenance/update.php --wiki=wikiId. "
what i have to install in the different domains?
thank you
There's a lot of ways to set this up, but basically, run the installer for each of your domains, giving each of your domains a separate database. You can either use rewrite rules/aliases/etc to have all your domains hit the same MediaWiki install (And detect in LocalSettings.php which virtual host you are at) or you can use entirely separate installs for each.
thank you very much.
my sites are on a shared server and i can't use symbolic link to the folders where mediawiki is installed on another domain.
what kind of rewrite rules/aliases may i use?
You could try the methods mentioned here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/992326/rewriterule-for-mapping-x-domain-com-to-y-domain-com but the smartest thing would be to use a host who can help you. Many hosts are already setup for what you want and it's simple and automatic. Contact me offline for specific details.
