Change Webserver Owner (optional) and include httpd-vhosts in /opt/csw/apache2/etc/httpd.conf:

# User/Group: The name (or #number) of the user/group to run httpd as.
# It is usually good practice to create a dedicated user and group for
# running httpd, as with most system services.
#
User webservd
Group webservd

# Virtual hosts
Include etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

configure in /opt/csw/apache2/etc/extra/httpd_vhost.conf

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName      wiki.example.org
DocumentRoot    "/var/www/mediawiki-1.24.1"
    CustomLog       /var/log/apache2/wiki/access_log combined
    ErrorLog        /var/log/apache2/wiki/error_log
</VirtualHost>

check or add in extra/http_php5.conf

<IfModule php5_module>
    <IfModule mime_module>
        AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
        AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
    </IfModule>
    <IfModule mod_dir.c>
        DirectoryIndex index.html index.php
    </IfModule>
