Can I come back to you Real Soon Now on this? (ie. at a SIGNIFICANTLY later date) I've not really got the time at present to delve back into my MediaWiki install and was thinking of getting back to it only when 1.4 is out -- HOWEVER: I too have a MAJOR interest in getting this to run properly and securely on Mac OS X and *BSD (I think my host uses FreeBSD).
I'll save this email outside of my regular queue/archive and I'll try get back to you if that's ok.

I've personally installed MediaWiki on Mac OS X and it can be got to run with quite moderate effort and even with a limited skillset (such as mine). There is a decent walkthrough at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Running_MediaWiki_on_Mac_OS_X . However: I am not so sure how complete it is in terms of the "securing Apache" section -- I personally haven't yet figured that one out. So you want some old pro to check things in terms of security. (That actually goes for installs on all OSes.) Neither have I gotten URL rewriting to work. So Mac OS X is not perfect either.
In what way does it not work?
(I do most of my MediaWiki development on Mac OS X, so I have some interest in it working smoothly. ;)
