Thanks again, guys. I feel we're making progress. The test worked.
When I go to http://obtcc.org/index.htm, the host's "under construction" page comes up.
My host tells me, "The HTML and PHP files that make up your Website go in the public_html directory inside your home directory."
So, on the server, my main path name is:
/public_html/pmwiki
Under that pmwiki directory are the cookbook, docs, etc. directories.
I get "Not Found" when I try:
http://obtcc.org/index.htm/pmwiki
http://obtcc.org/index.htm/pmwiki.php
http://obtcc.org/index.htm/public_html/pmwiki.php
http://obtcc.org/public_html/pmwiki.php
http://obtcc.org/public_html/pmwiki

There is no config.php file in the local directory on my local drive or the server.


Most of the files in the wikilib.d\ directory are Sept. and Oct. 2011.

But when I try http://obtcc.org/pmwiki/ I am told:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pmwiki/ on this server.

So I review the following message from Edwin Marte:
I think if you uploaded everything correctly it should be something with permission  as we can't access to pmwiki folder. 

As you are using fillezilla, create in the web server the directory wiki.d  as per http://www.cubecartforums.org/docs/appendix/how-to-chmod-directories.html , instructions on how to change permissions can be found here http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/Installation#directories  , give 777 to wiki.d and probably 755 to the whole pmwiki folder in your server.

Regards,
Edwin
Using FileZilla I create a wiki.d directorty under /public_html/pmwiki and I change the permission on that directory to 777 and keep 755 on the others.

But I still get the Forbidden error message.

Considering it strange that there was no config.php file, I upload one to the local directory from another site, and the error message I get is:
(:groupheader:)(:include Site.PageNotFound:)(:groupfooter:) <:block>
PmWiki can't process your request

PmWiki needs to have a writable wiki.d/ directory before it can continue. You can create the directory manually by executing the following commands on your server:
    mkdir /home/obtcc/public_html/wiki.d
    chmod 777 /home/obtcc/public_html/wiki.d
Then, reload this page.

Or, for a slightly more secure installation, try executing
    chmod 2777 /home/obtcc/public_html
on your server and following this link. Afterwards you can restore the permissions to their current setting by executing
    chmod 751 /home/obtcc/public_html
So I'm still stuck!

Thanks again for your help.

According to the error message :
http://obtcc.org/pmwiki/
it looks like the folder is not found.

Thus, it might be unrelated to pmwiki.
if I were you, I would do easy test :
just upload a basic html file
(http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hello_world#HTML) and call him
http..../hello.html
check if there is htaccess elsewhere than in pmwiki

how long have you been owning this domain/host ?

Gilles.
