Success!
I worked from bottom up, and pmwiki/.htaccess was the one.
Options All -Indexes was at the end of line, and then
Options All on a new line.
I doubt I was asleep enough to do that myself, so I blame cPanel.
Now to recheck all the .htaccess files for all wikis and all the levels. I
suspect cPanel did other unnecessary things. Delete the ones that aren't needed,
and add Options -Index in a few key places. (Lowest wins is frustrating for
global changes, but I see why they did it that way.)
First, though, a proper backup, and one step at a time.
Many thanks to both of you. It's a much more comfortable to experiment
(absolutely necessary when learning) when there's a safety net.
