Your server isn't following the cgi-bin standard, and so PmWiki is unable
to correctly determine the urls to use.

I think that explicitly setting a value for $ScriptUrl will fix
things... in the local/config.php file, try setting the following:

    $ScriptUrl = 'http://www.virtualorchestra.com/pmwiki.php';

Also, you might want to go ahead and install the 2.2.0-beta version
instead of 2.1.27, in spite of being labeled "beta" it is actually
fairly stable and there are enough changes that it's worth starting
with 2.2.0 rather than upgrading later.
