http://hip.eharch.com/Main/Main does work and you can try it again (I modified a minor issue).
What I meant by 'typed in manually' is that when you click on any of the sidebar links like 'Projects' or 'Materials' etc., the URL of the page that opens has the "?n=" in it. However, if you manually delete these three characters, the link still points to the same page. Moreover, if you click on the topmost header link like "Projects/" in the Projects/Projects page, it goes to a URL without the "?n=". But that I think was a modification made in the skin template, after suggestions on this mailing list. Having tried all that I could, I too am getting the feeling that this may have something to do with my installation of PHP etc. But I am too much of a newbie to try to do something about it. I really appreciate your time and help.

The "?n=" being there or not in the links should be controlled by the $EnablePathInfo variable in the config.php file. Interestingly, the comments about this in the config file state: "try setting $EnablePathInfo below. Note that this doesn't work in all environments, it depends on your webserver and PHP configuration." Maybe there is something else in the machine or PHP environment that is preventing EnablePathInfo from doing it's job. As to why the link to http://hip.eharch.com/Main/Main does not work, I am a bit more mystified. For one thing, I don't know what you mean by it works if typed into directly. Typing a URL or clicking on it should make no difference to how it is resolved, if it does make a difference, then I'm out of my depth. When I try to go to that URL I get... The requested URL /wiki/pmwiki.phpMain/Main was not found on this server. Notice the missing "/" between "php" and the first "Main". The only thing I can think of is that your EnablePathInfo is actually not set to "1". Check to make sure the "#" is removed at the front of that line in your config.php file.

In other words, all the "/singles" below should probably be "singles" instead (assuming "singles" is not actually at the root of your hard disk). Really, to debug this would require more detailed information using only full paths. What is the full path of your pmwiki install? (for example "/home/efc/www/pmwiki/pmwiki.php") What is the URL you would like to be "home" for your wiki? (for example " http://mydomain.org/Main/HomePage";) What is the full path of your ".htaccess" file? (for example "/home/efc/www/.htaccess") Assumption: your server is configured so that a request of a page from your domain actually reaches your .htaccess file. ...Eric On 12/4/07, Sameer Kumar <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: <Snip> Following the directions in the clean URL cookbook I set up my .htaccess file in /website as follows: # Use mod_rewrite to enable "Clean URLs" for a PmWiki installation.

Try "RewriteBase /" instead. Note, the should also allow " http://localhost <http://localhost> " without the "index.php" to bring up your site. Also, for this to work your Apache server on the localhost must have mod_rewrite activated. You might want to check to be sure this is the case. ...Eric <snip> Eric, I have exactly the same situation as Tom's description above and I have the .htaccess file in my root directory. I have followed all the instructions that I have found (my htaccess file looks exactly the same as above) and can also confirm that mod_rewrite is also activated for my Apache install. However, I cannot get rid of a "?n=" from my URLs. For example, my URLs read as: http://hip.eharch.com/?n=Materials/Materials instead of http://hip.eharch.com/Materials/Materials which I would prefer. Would you have any ideas or suggestions regarding getting rid of the "?n=" ? Thanks. Sameer
