In addition to MediaWiki that was mentioned by Kenny, you might also look at MoinMoin.

Choosing between MediaWiki and MoinMoin can be a bit tough. Here are some points to consider:

MediaWiki

Pros:

Made for wikipedia, thus is very mature and scalable.
Fairly easy to set up.

Cons:
Made soley for wikipedia. Thus it can be a bit of a pain to customize how you like it.

MoinMoin

Pros:

Very mature software.
Huge amount of plugins and third party modules available.

Cons:
Can be a pain to install.

There are a huge amount of other wikis available, but those are the main two I would consider.

Here comes another vote in favor of PHPKB knowledge base software  We came to know about PHPKB from this post on StackOverflow and bought it as recommended by Julien and Ricardo  I am glad to inform that it was a right decision  Although we had to get certain features customized according to our needs but their support team exceeded our expectations  So  I just thought of sharing the news here  We are fully satisfied with PHPKB knowledge base software

I believe that phpMyFAQ is the most useful KB I have seen so far   from open-source    It is simple  straight-forward KB software  is it PHP    can be easily installed on any server and can be customized if you know a bit of php  In addition it is made simple enough but with correct priorities and logic  I suggest to install it and play with it  I did and I decided to stay with this KB
