Just a quick note - since I don't know if I mentioned that here already.
I don't like having all the pmwiki stuff directly in my webservers root,
so I worked around that using a pmwiki subdirectory + index.php:

(from http://www.pmwiki.org/index.php/Profiles/Balu):
 
 <?php
 chdir('pmwiki');
 require_once('pmwiki.php');
 ?>

This allows me to have all pmwiki stuff in the pmwiki subdirectory while
the pmwiki pages are still available using the index.php in the
webservers root.

To make this work the file local/config.php also has to be
created/updated. It needs a modified $PubDirUrl so links to CSS or
template images are created correctly:

 $PubDirUrl = 'http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pub';

If you $EnableUpload, you also need to set the $UploadUrlFmt:

 $UploadUrlFmt = 'http://www.example.com/pmwiki/$UploadDir';
