Manual talk:Wiki family/Drupal-style LocalSettings.php

At least one person has had problems with this code (see the Wiki family talk page). My own experience was that the Drupal-style multi-site wiki did not work for other reasons (which I have now corrected in the Manual). Once these had been debugged, the Drupal algorithm worked fine. In the process of my own debugging, I created a greatly simplified LocalSettings.php based on $IP/WebStart.php to go in the mediawiki/code directory. It works only for sites where the host name and sites/sitename directory are the same.

<?php 
/**
 * Very simple configuration to cope with my local sites. Assumes the wiki URL
 * is of the form http://wikiname 
 */

$confdir = '/home/web/mediawiki/sites';
 
$dir = $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];

if (!file_exists("$confdir/$dir/LocalSettings.php")) {
    require_once( "$IP/includes/DefaultSettings.php" ); # used for printing the version
    require_once( "$IP/includes/templates/NoLocalSettings.php" );
    die();
}
require_once( "$confdir/$dir/LocalSettings.php" );

?>
