If you're going to use this exact path, then you need to specify this
in /local/config.php. Otherwise, PmWiki is expecting:
/home/ose/public_html/pmwiki and not /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27

I think it's a path problem. You
have /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27/wiki.d but PmWiki is looking for
wiki.d in /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki. I would change the PmWiki install
path from /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki-2.1.27
to /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki and then:
mkdir /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d && chmod
777 /home/ose/public_html/pmwiki/wiki.d
