No, the reason is because LocalSettings.php is in the directory pointed to by $IP, so you have to work out what $IP is before you can include it. Web entry points need to locate WebStart.php, and command line scripts need to locate maintenance/commandLine.inc. Then either of those two entry scripts can locate the rest of MediaWiki. -- Tim Starling _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
