dont look at config-default.ini, look at config/config.ini and
better read the INSTALL docs first.

almost right. you have to copy config/config-dist.ini to config/config.ini

but better start the browser with the directory of phpwiki and run
configurator.php then.
this will create config/config.ini.

you have to install apache with php, and point your browser to the
directory with phpwiki.
