Just to be perfectly clear, "cookbook, docs, local, and pub" are called 
folders or directories. A folder can contain a file, such as 
"config.php". You need to move your config.php file into the "local" folder.

As a general rule, do not uncomment a line unless you know what it does 
or unless you know it needs to be uncommented.

The actual setting for $ScriptUrl can be tricky, because it has to point 
to the location of your PmWiki installation. Exactly where this is 
depends in part on your ISP and in part on where you have installed PmWiki.

It would help if you could show the real URL (address) of your website. 
For example, I own my own domain and the URL for it is:
http://neil.eton.ca/

However, the URL to access my PmWiki installation is:
http://neil.eton.ca/wiki/index.php

Did you ISP give you instructions on how to upload a website? It should 
have included the URL that your website would use.
