Usually this indicates that something aborted or failed
prior to sending any output.  This could be due to a PHP
misconfiguration, or a number of other items.

What versions of Apache and PHP are in use on the
machine that is giving difficulty?

Also, try adding something simple to local/config.php like:

    <?php
       echo "local/config.php running\n";

Then we'd at least know if PmWiki is getting as far
as local customizations, or if something is causing it
to abort.
