I just went to http://www.hispanic.org/pmwiki.php and it seems to be
working ..  What exactly are you having problems with?

Heading to the pmwikis directory, however, seems to break things...

So how do you want someone to approach your site?  Do you want them to
be able to just go to :

http://www.hispanic.org

Or :

http://www.hispanic.org/pmwikis

??

Depends heavily on the configuration of the server, experience level
of the user, and other factors..  Don't get discouraged, we're here to
help you ...

pmWiki is pretty cool in that once you have it running, you can pretty
much forget about any back-end stuff...  Upgrading is usually pretty
simple too depending on how complex you make the setup.
