The wiki I setup on my local box (Ubuntu) works great. I used a similar procedure to set this up on a linux host ( http://mudabone.com/sandBoxWiki ) and everything seems to work fine except for users. When you login in, it logs you right back out the very next click. Try logging on as WikiSysop/WikiSysop - the next link you click will log you back out. Any idea what would cause this?
This is generally caused by a bad default configuration for PHP sessions on a web server farm. Each server stores the session files to its local hard disk, so consistent session cannot be maintained from request to request.
SourceForge's project hosting is a common victim of this, and you may find some of the notes useful at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Sourceforge
