[pmwiki-users] 404 errors when following action link

[Petko Yotov]

There looks like a problem with the $ScriptUrl variable.

It should point to the browser-reachable URL of your index.php or 
pmwiki.php file, for example:

$ScriptUrl = 'https://www.example.com/wiki/index.php';
$ScriptUrl = 'http://192.168.1.55/wiki/index.php';

Or a path without the domain name or IP address:
$ScriptUrl = '/wiki/index.php';

Normally PmWiki should autodetect this and you wouldn't need to define 
it. I'd check if your local/config.php has a value that is wrong, or 
points to the old server URL.

If you were using CleanURLs or $EnablePathInfo - see Cookbook - there 
may be additional configuration on the server to direct such requests to 
PmWiki. For Apache servers it is often a .htaccess file, and it may be a 
"hidden" file, in a file manager you may need to enable "Show hidden 
files" to see it. Check if you need to migrate this file too.
