If symlinks aren't an option (It would be weird for a hosting provider to disallow that), you can probably use dummy php files that just load the real version of themselves.
e.g. Have MediaWiki in a directory named mediawiki then in a different directory named andra have a file named index.php containing only <?php require "../mediawiki/index.php"; And do similar for load.php, and any other files ending in .php that are top-level in MediaWiki (e.g. api.php, load.php,etc. But only the top level ones, don't worry about the subdirectories). Then do the same thing for the other wikis you want to install in other directories. This should mostly just work (WMF wikis actually do something kind of like this, but for different reasons), although you will need to adjust $wgExtensionAssetsPath to be 'mediawiki/extensions'; If you enable uploads, you will need to make sure each wiki has a unique upload directory. -- Brian On Thu, Dec 12, 2019 at 9:28 PM Pascal GREGIS <[email protected]> wrote: > Thank you Brian for the explanations.
