[pmwiki-users] Clean URLs - how to make them even shorter?

[Matt Simpson]

How do I do I create a clean URL down to the root (per discussion below) for
a field of a wiki
farm, assuming that the field has http://wikifielddomain.com, with field.php
installed within /pmwiki on that domain.

I tried a number of things be don't seem to get it right.  I confirmed that
I do allow options override using .htaccess config.

thx
