I'm experimenting with implementing a wiki family with MW 1.15.2 and have seen some bizarre behavior when I change domains. Anybody have an explanation?
I set up 3 hostnames, en.mywiki.com, de.mywiki.com, and fr.mywiki.com, on the same server, thanks to DNS and Apache. They all point to the same physical MediaWiki code tree and database, but in LocalSettings.php, I override $wgLanguageCode differently (to 'en', 'de', and 'fr') based on the hostname. Simple so far. Here's the strange part. When I visit en.mywiki.com and change MediaWiki:Common.css (say, make the body background color = pink), then refresh the browser, the changes show up as expected. But when I browse to fr.mywiki.com and de.mywiki.com, the CSS does NOT take effect, even though they use the SAME MediaWiki:Common.css page in the database. I can view MediaWiki:Common.css under all three hosts, and it displays identically for all three URLs (I see "background-color=pink"). But the CSS never takes effect for the fr and de domains. It gets stranger. If I now edit MediaWiki:Common.css on fr.mywiki.com - say, change the body background color from pink to green - then fr.mywiki.com becomes green, but en.mywiki.com REMAINS PINK! And de.mywiki.com is still unchanged from the default. Browser refreshes do nothing. Browser cache-clearing does nothing. Trying in different browsers makes no difference. Any ideas??
