Ran a few diagnostics (some of which have been reported by others already):

1. You definitely have to get your DNS records cleaned up.

www.physicswiki.net
resolves to 184.168.221.5
canonical name: physicswiki.net
NOT to 192.65.240.181

184.168.221.5 reverse resolves to
ip-184-168-221-5.ip.secureserver.net
192.65.240.181 has no reverse record listed

2. Fixing the DNS MIGHT be enough
www.physicswiki.net goes to page showing:
Please complete the installation and download LocalSettings.php.
link shows as http://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php

http://192.65.240.181/ - goes to same page
http://192.65.240.181/mw-config/index.php goes to mediawiki configuration page - strangely, clicking through the link from the main page seems to alternately give a blank page and the configuration page - might be a caching thing

So... it's probably NOT a NameVirtualHost issue - as the static IP address seems to work

I do find the line about "LocalSettings.php not found" suspicious - though that might not be created until you work through the configuration steps.
