Try setting:

    $DefaultName = 'Main.TikvatWiki';


Note that even if you remove Main.HomePage from the wiki.d/ directory,
PmWiki will still see the Main.HomePage that is in wikilib.d/
(the one that comes with the distribution, along with the other
configuration and documentation pages).  Instead of removing
Main.HomePage, you may want to change it to

    (:redirect Main.TikvatWiki:)

This will cause any requests for Main.HomePage to automatically
be forwarded to Main.TikvatWiki.
