PmWiki requires at least PHP 4.1.  Sorry about that.  :-|

You shouldn't need to set $ScriptUrl or $PubDirUrl, but if you
do then they need to be full paths to the script (i.e.,
"http://..../index.php"), and "Url" isn't fully capitalized.

Yes, this is because the version of PHP is older than 4.1.0.
Again, sorry about that (but 4.0.6 is a *really* old version of
PHP).
