Setting $EnablePathInfo=1 in my local.php does change my URLs to the appropriate format and updates them in the browser's address bar when I click an internal link, but the pages don't change to match the URL.  They stay on Main.HomePage unless I click a link that has an ?action attached; then everything works as expected.

Well, I don't know really. I use PmWiki as a CGI script rather than
in the "standard" way, and I managed to get it to work as expected.
Try the following, which is more of a work-around than a solution
(if it works at all). In your local.php:

           if (!isset($action)) action = "browse";

or, alternatively:

           if ($action == "") action = "browse";

and see what happens. Either one or the other should work
(I'm not a PHP expert :-)
