[pmwiki-users] uploading PmWiki to GoDaddy

Tue Oct 2 11:00:28 CDT 2007

Thanks Carlos and Hagan.

I have a couple of related questions.  

1.        Using either Carlos' solution (below) or Hagan's (<?php
include_once('pmwiki.php');), do I need the description, keywords, etc
meta-tags on the index page?  Or, will search engines find them on the
Main.HomePage? 

2.        Finally, can meta-tags on other sub-pages be found by search
engines?

Thanks. 

Chris

You can also create an HTML index page (index.html) if it is needed.
Here is how I did it to have meta-tags and what not.

<html>
<head>
<title>My Super Website</title>
<meta name="description" content="A for all things super!">
<meta name="keywords" content="Top-notch, Groovy, Super, Super-Duper">
<meta name="revisit-after" content="10 days">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=wiki/pmwiki.php">
</head>
</html>

The magic line in this code is the meta HTTP-EQUIV which instantly
refreshes the page and sends to the URL.  That URL is where my wiki site
is located on my web site.  Mine is one level done in a folder called
"wiki".

called Index that redirects to pmwiki.php.  Is that the best solution,
or can the main page, pmwiki.php, be renamed to Index.php?

The PmWiki.Installation page explains how to create an index file.
