Thanks for the replies and the pointer to the web pages. I guess I could 
search for the rpms and install them on a linux box somewhere but I'm 
doing a bit of background research for a solaris installation which will 
probably take a bit more work for each installation.

Just as an aside on the original topic, the decision to install on a 
file system vs in a DB is a fairly important one depending on whether 
you are offering 24/7 services to a larger organization or just a basic 
wiki for a smaller work group. As one of the links above states "A DBMS 
can make it easier to cross the single server threshold. At its 
simplest, the DBMS is placed on one box and the web server / application 
component on another.Its arguable that DokuWiki could accomplish 
something similar by using NFS mounts to allow multiple locally remote 
(i.e. LAN connected) servers to access the wiki data directory tree.". 
NFS could be used but then you have a single source of failure as you do 
with most file systems. With a clustered backend DB you can have 
multiple front ends and a fault tolerant backend.
