[pmwiki-users] Clean URLs (Another question from the newbie)

[Eric Celeste]

The only other problem I see is potentially the leading "/" on the rewritten
address. In other words, all the "/singles" below should probably be
"singles" instead (assuming "singles" is not actually at the root of your
hard disk).
Really, to debug this would require more detailed information using only
full paths.

What is the full path of your pmwiki install?
(for example "/home/efc/www/pmwiki/pmwiki.php")

What is the URL you would like to be "home" for your wiki?
(for example "http://mydomain.org/Main/HomePage")

What is the full path of your ".htaccess" file?
(for example "/home/efc/www/.htaccess")

Assumption: your server is configured so that a request of a page from your
domain actually reaches your .htaccess file.
