There is some documentation on the wiki at:

However so many people have added stuff to that page overtime that it's
hideously confusing!

So, I'll tell you how I do it in the Debian package (which installs
phpwiki to /usr/share/phpwiki), which seems to work well with Apache
1/2=20

Alias /phpwikidata              /usr/share/phpwiki/
Alias $docroot                  /usr/share/phpwiki/index.php

<Directory /usr/share/phpwiki/>
    DirectoryIndex index.php
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Where $docroot is the location you want the wiki to appear at
(ie. /, /phpwiki, /wiki, etc.)

The magic you need to make this work inside the PHPwiki config is simply
DATA_PATH=3D/phpwikidata

All other path related options should be left commented out at their
defaults.

HTH.
