Do you have any rewrite rules or stuff like that? Please ensure that 
you're accessing api.php at its proper URL (i.e. "where it actually is", 
without the rewrites). You can check this by editing a page and looking 
at the URL, which will be something like 
http://wiki.local/w/index.php?action=edit&title=Foo . Replace index.php 
with api.php and see if that works. If it still doesn't, you need to 
'expose' your wiki root directory as follows:

- Make the wiki root (the directory that contains index.php and api.php) 
accessible as e.g. http://wiki.local/w/
- Use an Alias or a rewrite rule to rewrite /wiki/Foo to 
/w/index.php?title=Foo
