Subject: Setting up a wiki when you don't have root


I'm taking a research-oriented class (Quantum Computing) where all the 
students are supposed to find info and develop new ideas based on this 
research and then share with the rest of the class.  It's the share with 
the rest of the class part that's problematic.  I suggested that we set up 
a wiki - of course nobody knew what that was, but when I explained it the 
prof told me to go and set one up for the class (next time maybe I won't 
be quite so forthcoming).

So the problem is, while I understand how Wikis work and I've used them 
(and I've even set them up for internal use at work) I'm not quite sure 
how I would go about setting one up so that anyone on the internet can 
use it without having root access.

I want to use Instiki since it's so easy to setup, but how do I go about 
setting it up on port 80 without root access so that anyone can get at it?
