Creating a Wiki Farm using a single source code for multiple Mediawiki sites

Setting Up .htaccess

Save a .htaccess file in the root directory of your site. The contents should look like this.

## https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Short_URL/Apache

# Enable the rewrite engine
RewriteEngine On

# Short URL for wiki pages
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/qazvin/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/?qazvin1(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/qazvin/index.php [L]

# Redirect / to Main Page
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/qazvin/index.php [L]

RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/qazvin/index.php [L] redirects request using /wiki to the installation folder

Setting up Main LocalSettings.php

Create a file title LocalSetting.php in the root of the installation folder. This will redirect

<?php
// Include common settings to all wikis before this line (eg. database configuration)

$callingurl = strtolower( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ); // get the calling url
if ( strpos( $callingurl, '/wiki' )  === 0 ) {
        require_once 'LocalSettings_wiki.php';
} elseif ( strpos( $callingurl, '/qazvin1' ) === 0 ) {
        require_once 'LocalSettings_qazvin.php';
} else {
        # header( 'HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found' );
        # echo "This wiki (\"" . htmlspecialchars( $callingurl ) . "\") is not available. Check configuration.";
        header('location:/w/');
        exit( 0 );
}

Additional Settings in individual Wiki LocalSetting.php

## The URL base path to the directory containing the wiki;
## defaults for all runtime URL paths are based off of this.
## For more information on customizing the URLs please see:
