Ah! I presume you mean this question:

  Q. Can I run two PhpWiki 
<http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/PhpWiki>s with separate 
databases off the same code?:

I don't look in the FAQ page because it's large, frightening, and has 
not much TOC, but I should remember to grind through it more. This is 
somewhat helpful.

It might be nice if only the changes were kept in separate files. 
Presumably, one could modify the index.php and wiki2.php to include some 
common config.

This still does not allow one to use the same DB, so if any upgrades 
cause DB changes, that would still force lots of DB upgrades, and 
potentially lots of index.php config upgrades. However, it probably helps.
