Hi, I still cannot understand the procedure given in http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wiki_family
However, the LocalSettings comments at the top says: # If you customize your file layout, set $IP to the directory that contains # the other MediaWiki files. It will be used as a base to locate files. So I set $IP = "../commonmediawiki"; where commonmediawiki is the folder that contains all the mediawiki files. However, it is not working. My LocalSettings.php is contained within a folder that is at the same level as the commonmediawiki folder. Using "../" moves the directory pointer one level up before pointing to the commonmediawiki folder. Did I set the $IP correctly?
