Sure you have it, it's shiped with Phpwiki tarball.
It's just a matter of choice for your, do you want to rely on PearDb
backend (so choose SQL) or ADODB (so choose ... ADODB).

I would say: nothing.
Statment 'c)' is only useful if you are just one DB shared by many
application in order to avoid table name conflicts.

With these parameters, you won't use your SQL database.

config/config-default.ini won't change wiki's parameters. The right
file is config/config.ini (that you can copy from
config/config-default.ini).

But I think you should use the graphical configurator shiped with phpwiki.
Just unpack phpwiki's tarball in your website and go on this page with
your browser. A well documented page will help you to configure your
wiki.
