[pmwiki-users] missing password form

One of my PmWiki sites has stopped displaying the password form. If you
use an action that would require a password (such as ?action=edit), you
get a blank page. It's not using either AuthUser or UserAuth, but basic
passwords only, defined in config.php.
Check it out at http://franstallings.com/ .
I've checked the config.php and the files in the scripts directory,
comparing them to a working site running the same version (2.1.24), and
can't find any differences -- the program files are identical. I tried
commenting out bits of config.php, and the only thing that changes the
behavior is to comment out the definition of $DefaultPasswords['edit']
... and that only enables editing; commenting out the equivalent admin
password doesn't enable ?action=attr.
One difference I did find was that many files on the sick site were set
to 644 (rw-r--r--) rather than 664 (rw-rw-r--), but changing this didn't
help. I even tried changing them to the Permissions of the Beast
(rw-rw-rw-), but that did nothing but immanentize the eschaton,
presumably. (obscure joke)
The sick site is on a different server from my other sites, so I suppose
some Apache setting could be different, but I don't know where to start
diagnosing that. It's been several months since I'm sure it was
working, and I don't remember making any changes since then, but they
could have made some changes on the server side without telling me. Or
I could have changed something and forgotten!
Any ideas? What have I overlooked? Thanks in advance! --Ben S.
