Hi, I am very sorry for the inconvenience caused... I found the problem. I upgraded to MediaWiki 1.6.1 from MediaWiki 1.4.0 and forgot to redo the setup. It's working perfectly now. Thank you for all the assistance rendered me in setting up a wiki family. On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 12:48 AM,

Hi, is it true that multiple Mediawiki websites must share the same database in order to share the same software? I have been combing the internet and this seems to be the case. On Tue, Jan 25, 2011 at 2:21 PM, Ekompute .info ekomp...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, seems like there are some difficulties,

As for [1], create a file index.php in your health folder with just ?php echo hello world; ? and go to http://health.jbdirectory.com/ if you see the hello world message, it probably means [1]. Alexis You can just place in such index.php define( 'LOCALSETTINGS', dirname( __FILE__ ) .

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.
