Comments on: Running multiple instance of MediaWiki on the Same Server using the Same Source Code? http://www.mizanurrahman.com/2007/06/12/running-multiple-instance-of-mediawiki-on-the-same-server-using-the-same-source-code/ - weblog of Mizanur Rahman Wed, 08 Feb 2012 09:10:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7.1 hourly 1 By: Michael http://www.mizanurrahman.com/2007/06/12/running-multiple-instance-of-mediawiki-on-the-same-server-using-the-same-source-code/comment-page-1/#comment-667 Michael Mon, 13 Oct 2008 15:57:16 +0000 http://booleandreams.wordpress.com/2007/06/12/running-multiple-instance-of-mediawiki-on-the-same-server-using-the-same-source-code/#comment-667 I have the same question as zeninho. I have about 4000 pages in Twiki that I have converted to MW, but I want to break the twiki equivalent of namespaces into different MW instances (because I want to have separate categories and clean searches and user bases). I'm thinking that I will need to set the wiki_one_settings.php to LocalSettings.php, run my script, and then rename it back. Could we do something that detected that the script was being run from the command line and read an arg as the wiki to use? This is definitely something we'll need to worry about when we upgrade a MW instance. Updating may be quite difficult. Can you discuss how you'd upgrade from one version to another in this scenario? I have the same question as zeninho.

Using AD would be nice, but not an option right now. Yes, I am also interested in having two wikis share a single user database. Using AD would be nice, but not an option right now.

Use the symlink path for creating the new wiki. Otherwise the LocalSettings.php shown above will not work. Alternative: Edit the LocalSettings.php of the new wiki. The $wgScriptPath variable must be set to the path of the Symlink, not the original mediawiki. This comment refers to the first scenario:

I'm a php newbie. I have more than 2 sites running on the mediawiki codebase so i altered the LocalSettings.php file to a series of if/elseif statements. It didn't seem to work with "===" so i changed to "==" and it worked. Not sure if i'm just using this operator wrong or what. Everything else worked perfectly. Thanks for the step-by-step tutorial.
