This is not really a mediawiki question but more one for apache or infastructure afficionados - which, fortunately, I am.
The actual request you send to the webserver (homeserver:2096) which will make the wiki think it is hosted on a different server. You'll need to tell apache to redirect the request to the wiki site. (using mod rewrite presumably, but it may work with just the correct (virtual)host settings)

sorry if this is a duplicatge - stuff seems to be going into the aether
Im connecting to my server at work with a reverse ssh tunnel ie from my office ssh -R 2096:localhost:80 www.homeserver.com
and then i go home
I then point a browser at home to http://homeserver:2096 and i get my default apache page from work .
the mediawiki is installed into http://workserver/mediawiki and sitting in my office i can access it. Ive had to add to my client /etc/hosts workserver 192.168.0.1 (my homeserver IP address)
When , from home i go to http://homeserver:2096/mediawiki I get the 'you must set up your wiki' page, although the wiki is running and my secretary can access it.
Ive not gone right through the installation through the SSH tunnel in case I lose everything that is already there.
Whats going on ? Is this soluble ?
