A few things you can check/try:
1) Make sure your Apache rewrite engine and htaccess use is on and working
(ex: change the rewrite rule to something more obvious/different).
2) The rewrite rules you have are slightly different than the ones
specified in the tutorial:
RewriteRule ^/?wiki(/.*)?$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/*$ %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/w/index.php [L]
The RewriteCond's are optional and shouldn't make a difference but you can
try removing them. Is the RewriteBase line there correct for your setup?
3) If you have access to the Apache root configuration you can try using
Alias instead like I do (I don't believe you can use Alias in a .htaccess
file):
Alias /wiki /home/absolute/path/www/w/index.php
Alias /index.php /home/absolute/path/www/w/index.php #Optional
Obviously substitute your wiki's absolute path on the right side of the
alias.
