The Debian PHPwiki package (which Ubuntu uses pretty much unmodified)
sets up PHPwiki to be visible at http://your-site/phpwiki/ by default.

As you install the package you should be asked a debconf question to
give you the opportunity to change this. I've not heard of adept before,
but if you're not getting asked this question blame adept. 

Depending on what version of Kubuntu you are using there may be an old
version of PHPwikiin the package archive. I would suggest using the
1.3.11p1 package either from Dapper, Debian Unstable or
http://www.mattb.net.nz/debian/

Hope that helps. 

Cheers
