We use MediaWiki, powered by PHP and MySQL, for several websites both  
internal and external.  MediaWiki is also what powers the WordPress  
documentation site (http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page) and I must  
say they've done a fine job of branding/skinning it!

If you need a private wiki on the Internet (as opposed to your  
intranet), I've found it helpful to use Apache's mod_auth_mysql  
extension.  It can put HTTP-Auth protection on the entire wiki while  
using the MediaWiki accounts for authentication:
