I'd recommend mediawiki, with the following:
Make the DB user yourself, and the DB for it, and then don't give it the
DB root password - it'll give you an error for that (a little
unintuitive, considering it does have all it needs).

Subject: [thelist] wiki recommendation
Hello,
I would like to set up a php wiki and need some recommendations. I am
considering Mediawiki however it appears to be difficult to install
based on some comments I have read. However, I also read that if php and
mySQL are installed properly there shouldn't be any problems with
installing Mediawiki. I hope that is the case. I am a beginner with php
and I am hoping that it will be not too difficult to install. Perhaps I
should consider a wiki that is known to be easier to install. Any
suggestions? - or should I give Mediawiki a try first?
Requirements:
php preferred
server: Unix
database: mySQL
These are the wikis I have looked at:
Mediawiki - http://wikipedia.sf.net/
PhpWiki - http://phpwiki.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/
Tikiwiki - http://tikiwiki.org/
TaviWiki - http://tavi.sourceforge.net/
JSPWiki - http://www.jspwiki.org
Usemod - http://www.usemod.com/cgi-bin/wiki.pl
( I think Usemod is perl-based but I am not sure)
Could anyone suggest any other recommended wikis? Which wiki is often
recommended? If Mediawiki is one of the best solutions I would like to
give it a try first. Just thought I would ask here first for any advice.
I would also like to have a forum on my site and I noticed that the wiki
called "tikiwiki" has a built in forum in it. That might be useful to me
- or is it best to have a separate system for a forum (such as phpBB)
for maximum features and flexibility?
Thank you
