[Pmwiki-users] Newbie question: hiding pagename?=

Thanks for the walkthrough, Edward.  I'll try it as soon as I get the
chance (tonight?).

I'd seen the shorter version of those instructions, but my impression was
that all of that was just a way to "rename" pmwiki.php to something
without an extension.  The first part of the instructions at
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/ChangePmWikiURL seem to imply this
when they say that it could be as simple as including "Alias /wiki
/path/to/pmwiki.php" in a config file.

If that's basically what it's doing, then my thought was that if this
doesn't work...

   www.website.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HomePage

...then this wouldn't work either (after all the alias work)...

   www.website.com/wiki/Main/HomePage

But, like I said, I'll try the instructions you gave me later tonight.

Thanks!

Rich
