<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Well, I’ve given up hope for a good solution, and done hacking instead. Thanks to a significant amount of debugging help from Steven Leite (cc’d), I ruled out systematically lots of things that didn’t help identify my problems.<BR>
<BR>
Fundamentally, I was still unable to use local/config.php options in any farm field. This was with v 2.1.27 and 2.2.0-beta65. I created files only as prescribed in the wiki farms instructions page.<BR>
<BR>
My fix is described at the bottom of this page:<BR>

<BR>
By an unknown contributor. Since I generate all my farms from a script, it is not too much of a price to pay to add the extra line to index.php...<BR>
<BR>
I think there is a problem outside my configuration options. After temporarily removing every wiki except a brand new, no frills wiki, without even a wiki.d directory, and no changes whatsoever to the config.php, and no .htaccess rewrites, creating a single farm works, until creating a local/config.php (I tested this by setting the wikititle to “My Farm Wiki” in farmconfig.php, and then trying to override it to “My Custom Farm Wiki” in local/config.php, but it would read “PmWiki” instead). More of these details are below, though I will take down the wikis in a few weeks.<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks again to Steven for all his debugging help. I’m sure this is a problem out of my control, like the version of PHP that my server is running or something. If you still care at all by this point, the phpinfo for my server can be found at:<BR>

<BR>
Below here are the 3 wikis that show the problems.<BR>
<BR>
Simple install with a config.php (directly copied from docs), and a farmconfig.php with the only contents of setting WikiTltle=”My Farm Wiki”, shows title “Pm Wiki”<BR>
<a href="http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/pmwiki-2.2.0-beta65/">http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/pmwiki-2.2.0-beta65/</a><BR>
<BR>
Farm wiki with no local/config.php file, correctly shows title “My Farm Wiki”<BR>
<a href="http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/research/simplefarm/">http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/research/simplefarm/</a><BR>
<BR>
Farm wiki with local/config.php with only contents the PMWiki exit, and WikiTitle=”My Custom Farm Wiki”, still shows “Pm Wiki”<BR>
<a href="http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/research/customsimplefarm/">http://www.ece.arizona.edu/~sprinkjm/research/customsimplefarm/</a><BR>
<BR>
If you want to know more details, I can give them to you. Otherwise, it’s “Case closed” for me, with regrets that I couldn’t do it without hacking...I’ll probably unsubscribe to the mailing list in a few days, so you can email me directly. <BR>
