This is almost certainly the issue -- there's no way for
PmWiki to automatically determine the url location of the
farm directory, so it has to be explicitly configured.
The FarmSetupByExample page mentions that $FarmPubDirUrl has
to be set, but perhaps it needs to stand out more in the text
or headings somehow.
