OK Sorry it has taken so long but this has been a mission.
I finally have mediawiki working.
Please follow the following instructions and you should end up with a working wiki.
If you still have smeserver-mediawiki installed please remove it with yum remove smeserver-mediawiki and then run the unistall.sh script.

| SME Site Maker Script |
| |
| This script is designed to help you when create a new web site |
| under /opt directory. If you want to create a site under an |
| ibay, do not use this script. The main purpose is to automate |
| the time consuming (and sometimes confusing) process of |
| installing an application to the /opt directory. |
| |
| If you do not use SMESiteMaker you must create the dir, conf |
| files, and DB configs manually from the command line. |
| |
| With SMESiteMaker, you only have to answer the questions in |
| the wizard. |
| |
| WARNING: Never use white spaces in names or directories! |
| |
| If you feel confortable with the above then press enter, if |
| not press Ctrl+C to abort the configuration script. |
