Well, you will need some database. If they won't let you run or access
one as a daemon, you will need something that is file based. The two
that come to mind are BerkeleyDB and SQLite. You must seek a wiki engine
that can be configured to use one of those as a database backend. Have
you thought about changing web hosts? Hosting is cheap, and if you shop
around, you can get something with ssh, cron jobs, mysql (no webrick,
though) for about $10 per month. Possibly less.

Good luck,
Dan

MRW might squeeze in like that. Here's how to bond it with Apache:

If you can't reach out to httpd.conf, you might upgrade .htaccess

Remember to set MRW to secure mode!

Now, why not a PHP, Python, or Perl Wiki? Are you going to add features to
it?
