Description:
If I have a MediaWiki installed in $HTDOCS/mediawiki and an other website in
$HTDOCS/web, the PHP variable "$_COOKIE" in $HTDOCS/web/index.php show me all
MediaWiki cookies.

This problem may cause problems for the sites in the same web-server.

The solution is to set the path of cookies at the correct directory (now the
path is "/" and should be like "/mediawiki").

Sorry for the english. ^_^

Yeah, that's how cookies work.

If you want to override the cookie path, set these variables:
$wgCookieDomain = '';
$wgCookiePath = '/';
