Have you looked at Alfresco? If you want something to store and
manage documents (as opposed to a wiki, which is really focused on
writing documentation than on storing documents generated elsewhere)
then it is very good.

It does have a plugin for wikis and web content management, though
the wiki isn't that good.

Of course, if you thought DokuWiki had too many pre-requisites,
than Alfresco is probably right out.
