If you enable the wiki system it will always be what you reach if you use the default name for that IP address.

Create at least one other DNS 'name' for the same IP address. Have the wiki site respond if you address the computer by the original name. You can enter any number of other web sites in the 'Websites' list on the Websites panel, and specify which 'Domain Name:' reaches each one of them.

Suggestions:

wiki.example.com

www.example.com

Something like that.

Do you have at least two DNS addresses that point at the IP address of your server ?

The web service in OS X Server responds to the name of the site that was entered into the web browser and uses that to decide which 'site' should be delivered.

So in the websites list have the default site, then create two other sites which respond to those two names specifically and check to see which address goes to which of your sites.
