Hi Henrik, SuPHP is a very good thing: it means that you should have no worries with directories and permissions. In some hostings, the web server (PHP) runs as one user, the FTP transfers to your accounts use another. If you create files and directories by FTP, they may be not accessible by PmWiki/PHP, and (rarely) vice-versa. You may need additional settings for every file/directory permissions. With SuPHP this problem should not happen: PHP scripts are started with the same user/permissions as that of your account and FTP. At the time I used Apache, suPHP was the best/easiest way to set a PmWiki site. The downside of suPHP is that it is based on mod_cgi which usually is much slower/heavier than the newer PHP over FastCGI.
