Or use apache aliases. On my computer I got mediawiki installed in
/var/www/mediawiki-cvs

Apache conf:

Alias /wiki/images      /var/www/mediawiki-cvs/images
Alias /wiki/skins       /var/www/mediawiki-cvs/skins
Alias /wiki/index.php   /var/www/mediawiki-cvs/index.php
Alias /wiki             /var/www/mediawiki-cvs/index.php

LocalSettings:
$IP = '/var/www/mediawiki-cvs';
$wgScriptPath = '/mediawiki-cvs';
$wgScript = '$wgScriptPath/index.php';
$wgArticlePath = '/wiki/$1';
// Style
$wgStylePath = $wgScriptPath.'/skins';
$wgStyleDirectory = $IP.'/skins';
// Upload
$wgUploadPath       = $wgScriptPath.'/images';
$wgUploadDirectory  = $IP.'/images';

cheers,
