[Tfug] Stoopid Apache and Wiki questions...

[Matt Jacob]

You can use MediaWiki, which powers Wikipedia, but you'll need PHP and
MySQL in addition to Apache. Perhaps the easiest way to get everything
working together is to download and extract XAMPP for Linux
(http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-linux.html). All you do is
extract the archive, run the init script, and you're good to go with
everything you need.

You can get MediaWiki at http://www.mediawiki.org.
