yast -i mysql
yast -i php5-mysql
/etc/init.d/apache2 start
/etc/init.d/mysql start

cp /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.template /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf

change DocumentRoot in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/vhost.conf so it points to /srv/www/htdocs
create a file index.htm in /srv/www/htdocs
restart apache

/etc/init.d/apache2 restart

surf to http://localhost and verify you get index.htm served
Download mediawiki from http://www.mediawiki.org and save it to /tmp. In this example we assume it is mediawiki 1.21.2.

Then extract the mediawiki installation package, in this case to apache's default directory:

cd /srv/www/htdocs
tar xvzf /tmp/mediawiki-1.21.2.tar.gz
mv mediawiki-1.21.2 mediawiki
chown -R wwwrun:www mediawiki
