Normally PmWiki gives diagnostics, but sometimes PmWiki itself isn't
informed that anything went wrong.

If you aren't getting any messages -- i.e., if uploading a file
returns you immediately to the page's browse view but with no uploaded
file, then check the value of PHP's post_max_size setting.  (You can
do this by setting $EnableDiag = 1; in config.php and running pmwiki
with ?action=phpinfo.)  If the file you're uploading is larger than the
value of post_max_size, it'll be silently stripped by PHP and you won't
see any sort of error.

If that's not it, check upload_max_size in the PHP settings (although
you should've seen "no file upload" or "file is larger than..." messages
in this case).  You might also check LimitRequestBody in Apache's 
configuration.
