[Pmwiki-users] Fwd: Problem setting CleanURLs for personal Pmwiki

[slonik AZ]

Patrick,
thank you very much! Your suggestion works! 
The key was to use the rewrite rules from your email

RewriteRule ^([A-Z].*) /~leor/pmwiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1 [L,qsappend]
RewriteRule ^$ /~leor/pmwiki/pmwiki.php [L,qsappend]

with an explicit reference to a user's web-dir  /~me/.
It would be great, if this recipe makes its way into the Pmwiki
documentation. Current "CleanUrls" entry in the Cookbok is of little
help if one keeps a PmWiki in a user specific public_html folder.

Lots of thanks again and happy holidays,
--Leo--
