[pmwiki-users] Installation Problem

[ABClf]

Bravo ;)
You can play with PmWiki now.

Next step is working on the basics of your config.php (name of the site,
how you like to stock files and images – per group, per site or per page –,
utf8, localization if you want to change language, enable uploads, set up
the time format you prefer (ddmmyyy, yyyymmdd, ...), etc).
(There is no config.php file in the PmWiki installation : you have to
create it by yourself in a texteditor.)

See http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/InitialSetupTasks for quick
explanation.

By default, you are redirected to $DefaultPage, which is by default :
$DefaultGroup.$DefaultName ;
you may like to change that behaviour later (
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/BasicVariables).

Gilles.
