I swore to myself I would not get sucked back into this thread, but ...
The structure you drew looks way too complicated. Every wiki admin
needs FTP access to 2 directories.
I have a very easy way to create a farm with every wiki in the farm
able to have its own totally private skins etc.
1) Do a standard, full install to directory1
2) Add the farmconfig file to directory1
3) In the .htaccess file for directory1, deny access to pmwiki.php
You now have a "home wiki" that can never have page content or be a
wiki, but it does hold all of the farm-wide shared components and config files.
4) In directory2, install the index.php wrapper script that invokes
pmwiki.php in directory 1
Repeat step 4 for each additional wiki.
If you stop after the first iteration of step 4, you have the famous
ridderstrom-1-wiki-farm. ;-)
Now I have to go polish the stein in my beer mug collection.
