I think you already indicated this--but just to verify, does your
.htaccess file in /var/www/html/pmwiki contain the "AcceptPathInfo On"
directive?

The problem is almost certainly that the web server is looking for
a file called /pmwiki/pmwiki.php/PmWiki/WikiWikiWeb and not treating
the PATH_INFO statement correctly.

If you've already added AcceptPathInfo On to your .htaccess file and
still isn't working, it may be that Apache isn't recognizing AcceptPathInfo
in that directory and so the AcceptPathInfo On statement needs to go 
in the httpd.conf file (or place it in a file in /etc/httpd/conf.d).
