[pmwiki-users] Localhost Farm

[Petko Yotov]

In a farm, you should have the following structure:

* base directory pmwiki
** file pmwiki/pmwiki.php
** directory pmwiki/local
*** file pmwiki/local/farmconfig.php where you set all common 
configuration, will be loaded before individual local/config.php files.

fields: could be any directory, either (a) the same pmwiki above, or (b) 
a subdirectory like pmwiki/field, or (c) a separate directory on the 
server, for example:

* (case a) directory htdocs/pmwiki (same as above)
** file htdocs/pmwiki/index.php with content "<?php 
include_once('pmwiki.php');"
** directory pmwiki/local (same as above)
*** file pmwiki/local/config.php for the base wiki
** directory pmwiki/pub/skins where are the skins

* (case b) directory htdocs/pmwiki/field
** file htdocs/pmwiki/field/index.php with content "<?php 
include_once('../pmwiki.php');"
** directory htdocs/pmwiki/field/local
*** file htdocs/pmwiki/field/local/config.php for the field
** directory htdocs/pmwiki/field/pub/skins where are the skins

* (case c) directory htdocs/otherfield
** file htdocs/otherfield/index.php with content "<?php 
include_once('../pmwiki/pmwiki.php');"
** directory htdocs/otherfield/local
*** file htdocs/otherfield/local/config.php for the field
** directory htdocs/otherfield/pub/skins where are the skins for the 
field

("htdocs" is the document root of the XAMPP server software, may be 
"www" or something else)

See if your installation is in one of these cases, fix it otherwise, and 
report if that fixed the $WikiTitle.

About the skins of the fields, PmWiki expects the skins to be in a local 
"pub/skins/skinname" directory, not in the base 
"pmwiki/pub/skins/skinname" directory, or you could do some additional 
configuration. If you have problems with the skins, that is, if the skin 
appears to change but the browser fails to load the CSS files 
(styles/colors/icons), then you may need to set the variable $PubDirUrl 
in farmconfig.php.
