Hi guys.
I have a server with 15+ WordPress installations.
I'm thinking about creating a "fake-plugins" folder and to put inside every wp-content/ directory a "plugins" symbolic-link that points to the "fake-plugins" folder.
So I can keep all the plugins updated once.
Do someone have already any experience in this and thinks that it could not work?
May well depend on how your hosting is set up. You'd need the apache FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch directive to be in the conf or overrided by your .htaccess.
i use a similar technique for themes. has worked fine for me.
It works ;)
I tested more than 30 plugins, the only not working is broken-link-checker.
Because it searches the wp-config file with a path directive that is not relative to it's path.
I'm going to write to it's creator:

Guys... FORGET about this useless simbolic links and try this:

Infinite WP websites with only one installation.
It works great.

No hacks are required -- just set WP_PLUGIN_DIR and WP_PLUGIN_URL in each blog's wp-config.php.
Doing that, you can nativly point all of the blogs to a single plugins directory.
