That is the problem. It needs to be in the web site "home" directory. 
The directory you land in when you enter www.belovedparrot.com into the 
browser. SOmething has to tell the system to use the wiki files and 
where they are. That is the index.php file.

The directory that has the index.html should also contain the directory 
"pmwiki". The index.php file tells the web server to change to the 
"pmwiki" directory and start working. It CANNOT be in the same directory 
as the pmwiki.php file and work as you want it to.
