If "index.php" links to "yourlib/pmwiki.php"  pmwiki has problems in 
setting the environment variables correctly.
The problem starts in not finding config.php (which usually resides in 
local/ ), where you could  influence the behavior of pmwiki..

With a technique called "wikifarm" you can call pmwiki from any 
directory:  In short you can  "php include yourlib/pmwiki.php" from 
index.php.  look in the documentation for wikifarm.

this is  certainly the method which works with all the providers.
If you have access to apache definitioin, for example in .htaccess, you 
can define an RewriteRule (as I have done in www.blug.ch, see nice urls).
