I'm guessing that you renamed your 'pmwiki.php' to 'index.php'
at some point in the past.  Thus, upgrading gave you a new pmwiki.php,
but your urls are still using the old index.php (from the earlier
version of PmWiki).

Try copying pmwiki.php into index.php.  
Or, better still, follow the advice given at 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/PmWiki/InitialSetupTasks#dontmodify .  
Then you won't have to worry about it happening again.  :-)

If the above doesn't resolve the problem, let me know and I
can look into it further.
