Hello Mauro do Carmo,
Do you want this wiki to have the same information, and have it work
so that if one user edits something on wiki A then the edit will
appear on wiki B? If you do, then all that you need to do is create a
symlink (using ln -s) to the wiki A folder.
If you want to create a copy of the wiki and use the same database
(same edits, maybe different skins or settings), then you should keep
the same database, and just copy the files from one folder to another.
If you want to create two completely independent wikis but have one
based on the other (a copy right now, changes will be made to each and
they will soon become different), then you need to download the entire
database to a file (use the command mysqldump) and upload all of the
tables into a new database (if you have only one database available
then just change all of the table names). You will then need to go
into LocalSettings.php for your new wiki and change all of the
database information so it is correct for either your new database or
different table names.
I hope that this helps,
Kasimir Gabert

Thanks Kasimir,
That is great, but I looking for something simpler.
Basically, I want two different wikis. One completely copy. Since my host is a linux
account I have no problem in creating two
folders like:
domain.com;
and,
test.domain.com;
There are three I have to do:
1) copy all folder wiki from
domain.com to
test.domain.com;
2) copy the db_domain and creat a second db_test_domain;
3) make sure the new address
www.test.domain.com is going to work with the new copied
information from
www.domain.com;
The first step is easy, but for the other two I need some help.
Thanks again,
mauro.

|Hello Mauro do Carmo,
|
|I am doing the same thing on my wiki, and here is how I have it set up.
|
|In Apache I have both of the websites configured to use the same
|document root. Because I have different settings on the different
|wikis, I have
|
|==========
|$wiki1 = strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],"wiki1.domain.com");
|if ($wiki1 === false)
|{
|// Wiki 1 stuff here
|}
|else
|{
|// Wiki 2 stuff here
|}
|==========
|
|in my LocalSettings.php file.
|
|I hope that this helps,
