Hi Martin.

While I cannot judge about the different possible configurations at the 
Cookbook page, here is what I use on http://galleries.accent-bg.com/Thumblist 
and a number of other hosted sites:


1. In .htaccess (or inside the httpd.conf file for the website root 
directory):

	RewriteEngine On
	RewriteBase /
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
	RewriteRule ^([A-Z0-9\x80-\xFF].*)$       /pmwiki.php?n=$1  [QSA,L]

2. In local/config.php :

	$ScriptUrl = 'http://galleries.accent-bg.com';
	$UploadUrlFmt = "/uploads";
	$FarmPubDirUrl = $PubDirUrl = "/pub";



Also, check if you haven't changed the $UploadPrefixFmt variable. See [1]

Hope that helps.
Petko
