Check the documentation of your hosting provider about "PHP sessions". On some 
of them (for example Free.fr and Online.net) you need to create a 
directory "/sessions" at the root of your website. Find it and read it, it 
may be this simple.

Or, a failed session_start may be if you have blank spaces after a "?>" PHP 
closing tag in some config file. It is better not to have such marker at all.

Sessions need to work, with them PmWiki stores user authentification details.

I also recommend Dominique Faure's HtpasswordForm[1] as very good and 
easy/simple to use. But you will probably need to fix that session_start 
problem for it to work too.
