[Pmwiki-users] Mod_rewrite tip

[J. Perkins]

I spent the afternoon setting up pmwiki and mod_rewrite, and I think 
I've got it working. There have been some posts recently from other 
people so I thought I'd share what I found out (I've also add some 
comments to the wiki page at 
http://www.pmichaud.com/wiki/PmWiki/ChangePmWikiURL).

.htaccess should look like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /path/to/pmwiki.php/$1 [L]

You need the leading "^" to only match leading uppercase letters.

Also, you don't want to change the $ScriptUrl variable, because it will 
screw up all kinds of things, like the upload and mailform scripts. 
Instead, change $PageUrlFmt, which controls how links to other wiki 
pages look. Keep it simple:

$PageUrlFmt = '$Group/$Title_';

Hope this helps someone. You can see it in action at

Thanks for a great bit of software Pm.
