You probably need an .htaccess file -- that's probably the problem.
Mine is in the root directory of my wiki -- the same directory as the
files pmwiki.php and index.php -- and it contains just this:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /index.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php [L,qsappend]
Note that .htaccess is considered a hidden file on many systems. You
may need to make sure your ftp/ssh/other file-system-viewer software
will allow you to see it -- this is also the usual reason the
.htaccess file doesn't get copied with the other files to a new
installation in the first place.
Finally, please copy the users' list (and don't top-post) if you need more help.
