[pmwiki-users] Oops, help with Farm problem

Basic problem is that I renamed the original (and now master) PmWiki  
folder on the server.

I had one pmwiki on my server stored in the /pmwiki folder. It was  
for my private use. But I wanted to set up a public site, so I had  
the "genius" idea to rename the original folder "pmWikiMaster" and  
start the new site in a new "pmwiki" folder. I set up the minimum  
Farm file and everything seemed fine until I realized I was having  
some password problems and I started adding  $ScriptUrl and  
$PubDirUrl values to the respective config.php files. Pages seemed to  
disappear. I realized that there was no wiki.d folder in my new  
"pmwiki" folder. Yet the page Main.HomePage in "pmWikiMaster" is for  
the old private site. I can't find the new file that "should" be in  
the new "pmwiki/wiki.d/" (for one the folder doesn't exist).

I now realize (remember?) that renaming the folders was probably a  
bad idea as PmWiki is probably confused.

Should I just change the original folder back and start over with a  
new folder for my public site?

BTW: http://keeptherubbersidedown.com/pmwiki/ is the page I created  
in the new site, but as I said there is no /pmwiki/wiki.d/ folder.

Does PmWiki still know to use the old folder even though it's now got  
a new name?
