Dear PmWiki community,

I am currently facing the same problem as Lindsay did. Unfortunately, I didn't
found out yet from Lindsay's post what has to be done in order to get the
pmwikiserv running on Fedora Core 5 (I must say that I am a newbie in PHP). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Loic.
