[pmwiki-users] index.php

I am new to Pmwiki and am setting it up on my own server.  I want to
have pmwiki.php be the default page for my website
(engineeral.no-ip.org).

The instructions near the bottom of the documentation page
at:http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Installation did not quite work.
At that location it gives instructions to make my index.php file
read:<?php chdir('pmwiki'); include_once('pmwiki.php');
and to set the variable  $PubDirUrl variable (e.g. to
"http://example.com/pmwiki/pub") in local/config.php . (which for me
is 'http://engineeral.no-ip.org/www/wiki/pub/')
I also set the $ScriptUrl as: $ScriptUrl =
'http://engineeral.no-ip.org/www/wiki/pmwiki.php'; in
local/config.php.

Using those instructions when I accessed my website I got a list of
files and directories in my root (engineeral.no-ip.org/www).  If I
clicked on "index.php" nothing happened.  If I clicked through to the
wiki directory and clicked on pmwiki.php my home page came up, but
with messed-up formatting.

Investigating further I found similar instructions at:
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/PathVariables#PubDirUrl
This location suggested using the below for setting $ScriptUrl and $PubDirUrl
  $ScriptUrl = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/pmwiki/pmwiki.php';
(I changed the 'pmwiki' to my own directory 'wiki')
  $PubDirUrl = 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].'/pmwiki/pub';    (I
changed the 'pmwiki' to my own directory 'wiki')

This works somewhat better.  Now when I go to my default location
'engineeral.no-ip.org' I still get just a file and directory
list.  If I click on index.php, my wiki home page loads, with correct
formatting.  So I'm very close.

So the question is how do I get index.php to be run automatically from
my engineeral.no-ip.org/www directory?
I am using Apache/2.2.22 (Win32) and PHP/5.2.17 and Windows XP SP3

Thank you.

Al Taylor.
