Personally, I've come to enjoy using Aliases instead of Rewrites. Besides being much simpler than rewrites, aliases seem to work much better with special characters than rewrites do. Just need to make sure mod_alias is enabled, but it should be by default, IIRC, since Apache uses quite a few aliases of its own.
My install as the MediaWiki software in /www/w. I access it via a URL of http://myhost/wiki/.
In httpd.conf: Alias /wiki/ /www/w/index.php/ Alias /wiki /www/w/index.php/
In LocalSettings.php: $wgScriptPath = "/w"; $wgArticlePath = "/wiki/$1";

Thanks Dan, I can't modify httpd.conf. Regards,
