It's really a problem with your http server configuration.
By default, PhpWiki deduces the server host name from the $SERVER_NAME
environment variable which is set by the http server (e.g. apache).
So the best way to fix the problem is to fix your web server configuration
so that it reports the correct server name.

As a work-around you can manually set SERVER_NAME in index.php.
Uncomment the line which says:

  if (!defined('SERVER_NAME')) define('SERVER_NAME', 'some.host.com');

and change 'some.host.com' to something more appropriate.

The pages are stored in the MySQL database (if you're using the MySQL
backend, which you are.)
