Good that's progress.

How much tinkering did you have to do installing the wiki? I'm wondering
which file is supplying the config info for apache..

is that the xs-httpd.conf file or your own version that you posted? 
from your posted httpd.conf: 

#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80
Listen 172.18.0.88:80

don't change that to be the gateway, change that back to:
Listen 172.18.0.1:80

moodle and friends expect to find schoolserver resolving to 172.18.0.1
on the XS, while wiki doesn't really care.. don't fight that...
