If the configuration didn't require writing PHP, then this would be a

Yeah good point, and I think fixing that problem is kind of out of the scope of the wikifarm problem. Maybe for now we should focus on documentation, and documenting the best method for getting a wikifarm running, and from there we can analyze our own docs and come up with ways to make things easier.

Actually, I have been experimenting around with how Wikimedia configures their code to actually set up a wiki farm. The Labs project StackFarm[1] (which is also going to be a new MediaWiki extension in the future to manage wiki farms) currently has a modified set up of the Wikimedia cluster configuration and is trimmed down to work with only one server. Perhaps on documentation I would be able to help out :)
