You, sir, know your system.

I set the value to $ScriptUrl only to the directory for the
pmwiki.php file, rather then to the actual file itself. 
Since I had created the suggested index.php file to redirect
to pmwiki.php, I got partial functionality out of it.

All looks well now.  Both my forehead and my keyboard thank
you for saving them from further abuse.
