There should be no need for multiple servers in any case; web software is pretty good about coexisting. ;)
Multiple versions of MediaWiki can sit side by side in separate directories with no trouble. You can even run multiple versions of PHP simply by setting them up as FastCGI applied to different paths. Really though, this thread has gotten extremely unfocused; it's not clear what's being proposed to begin with and we've wandered off to a lot of confusion. We should probably start up a 'testing center' page on mediawiki.org and begin by summarizing what we've already got -- then we can move on to figuring out what else we need. -- brion vibber (brion @ wikimedia.org) On Aug 17, 2009, at 4:25, Dmitriy Sintsov <[email protected]> wrote: > * Platonides <[email protected]> [Mon, 17 Aug 2009 00:06:59 +0200]: >> In fact, I'm not sure to have understood the problem.
