For $ScriptUrl, use the url that you expect people to use to access 
the wiki.  Thus, if the url for the wiki is
http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=..., then set $ScriptUrl to be

    $ScriptUrl = 'http://www.example.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php';

Similarly, if the pub files are available from /pmwiki/pub, then set

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

In other words, set these variables to be the urls that a browser
should use to access the pmwiki script and the pub/ directory on
your server.
