Hi,

Let me put in another way:

I am up to lunch my English version of my site. How should I
do that? 

I was thinking in creating 2 different wikis within 2
diferent folders, and with 2 diferent databases:

www.my_site.info    ==> folder  my_site.info     ==>
Database      
www.en.my_site.info ==> folder  en.my_site.info  ==>
Database_en   

And, after that, what I should do to link each page to its
correspondent translation?

Thanks a lot, mauro.

|Thanks Zarrabeitia,
|
|So, if I understand this configuration allows us to use one
folder with two different databases
|according to the url the user enter,
|right? My question is:
|
|1) What is the advantage for this configuration?
|2) What configuration the wikipedia uses for the different
address it has?
|
|I am up to lunch my English version of my site, so I was
wondering what would be the most appropriate
|approach. I was thinking in
|this:
|
|www.my_site.info    ==> Database      ==>site.info
folder
|www.en.my_site.info ==> Database_en   ==>em.site.info
folder
|
|Thanks a lot, mauro.

||
||
||I hope you are not referring to my message "Mediawiki
as a CMS." (I mean, what
||I did there was a hack, and though it worked for my
(en|es).wikipedia mirror,
||I wouldn't exactly recommend it).
||
||Still, if you are referring to my hack, here it is:
||
||I installed a mediawiki in, for instance,
||/var/www/sites/wiki
||and pointed the en.wikipedia and the es.wikipedia
virtualhosts to that folder.
||
|n
my localsettings.php,
||
||==============
||if
($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]=="es.wikipedia.uh.cu&q
uot;)
||{
||        $db_lang="es";
||}
||if
($_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]=="en.wikipedia.uh.cu&q
uot;)
||{
||        $db_lang="en";
||}
||
||$wgDBserver         = "10.6.121.29";
||$wgDBname           = "wiki";
||$wgDBuser           = "wikipedia";
||$wgDBpassword       = "wikipedia";
||$wgDBprefix         = $db_lang;
||$wgDBtype           = "mysql";
||$wgDBport           = "5432";
||
||(...)
||$wgLanguageCode = $db_lang;
||================
||
||And that seems to work. (the ifs and the $db_lang variable
were added by me).
||There are some problems with the maintenance scripts in
this setup (they
||obviously don't define the _SERVER variable so they don't
load the
||configuration properly so I have to work around that)
||
||But given my 0 expertise with mediawiki, I'm sure there is
a better way to do
||it 
||
||Cheers,
||
||Zarrabeitia.
