If you're going to use this exact path, then you need to specify this 
in /local/config.php. Otherwise, PmWiki is expecting:

/home/ose/public_html/pmwiki  and not  /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27

I think it's a path problem. You 
have /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27/wiki.d but PmWiki is looking for 
wiki.d in /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki. I would change the PmWiki install 
path from /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27  
to /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki and then:

mkdir /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d && chmod 
777 /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d
