Yes you can. There are several methods outlined at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Wiki_family Basically, you can put in LocalSettings.php if ($_SERVER['host'] == "domain1.com") require("LocalSettings_domain1.php"); else if ($_SERVER['host'] == "domain2.com") require("LocalSettings_domain2.php"); else die("No such wiki"); And have files LocalSettings_domain1.php and LocalSettings_domain2.php, each pointing to a different database, different upload folder... You can also set some options at the main one to share them. Beware of mediawiki OS packages, though. It's sad to say this, but generally they don't do a good job with mediawiki. We recommend to stick with the official version from mediawiki.org and be susbscribed to either this list or mediawiki-announcements to keep it up to date. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-l
