[Pmwiki-users] aliasing / to pmwiki, but retaining /~user use

[Patrick R. Michaud]

Assuming your server supports PHP, you can also do

   <?php header("Location: http://your.site.com/wiki"); ?>

in a file called index.php (don't forget to remove index.html).  
I've found this to be a bit more reliable than the http-equiv markup. 

Also, note that some browsers don't properly parse http:/wiki
(some versions of netscape/mozilla) and so the full server path is
really needed.
