I've been using the URL rewriting method on many sites for many years.
Here is an example .htaccess file that may work for you:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^$ /wiki/pmwiki.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule ^([A-Z0-9\x80-\xFF].*)$ /wiki/pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]
This is like the Example 2 on the CleanUrls page, modified to match your
directory name (wiki instead of pmwiki) and your lack of index.php file.
And, in config.php, set these variables:
# set clean urls hear.beckman.illinois.edu/Courses/ECE537
$EnablePathInfo = 1;
$ScriptUrl = 'http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu';
## uncomment below if skins/attached files seem broken
# $FarmPubDirUrl = $PubDirUrl = 'http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/wiki/pub';
# $UploadUrlFmt = 'http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/wiki/uploads';

Dear Petko,
I tried all the methods on
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls
The alias method looked like it was going to work, but was unstable. I would
get an error, and then the skin was lost, and I had to turn off the alias to
recover. It also stopped rendering the LaTeX scripts.
I just couldn't get it to be stable.
In the end, the best I could do is
http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/?n=Courses.ECE537-2013SpeechProcessing
There are two problems: I cannot get rid of "/n=" and
Courses.ECE537
should have been
Courses/ECE537
The . -> / is not a big deal, but I would really love to remove the "/n=" as
students will be confused by this syntax.
The option
$EnablePathInfo = 1;
did not do it once I got rid of the /wiki/config.php/ part of the URL.
Are there more robust methods of doing this?

Dear pmwiki-users
Im having a name resolution problem. I dont know if the problem is with php
or apache.
My wiki is at
http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/
This method resolves a desired page:
http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/wiki/pmwiki.php?
n=Courses.ECE537-2013SpeechProcessing
But when I try to resolve the same page this way:
http://hear.beckman.illinois.edu/wiki/Courses/ECE5372013SpeechProcessing
it fails with an apache2 error
requested URL /wiki/Courses/ECE5372013SpeechProcessing was not found on this
server.
The wiki is installed at:
/var/www/wiki/
/var/www/wiki# ls
cookbook docs index.php local LS-LR pmwiki.php pub scripts TODO.txt
uploads uploads.tgz wiki.d wikilib.d
ls -l wiki.d/Courses.ECE537-2013SpeechProcessing
gives the content file:
/var/www/wiki# ls -l wiki.d/Courses.ECE537-2013SpeechProcessing
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 109610 Dec 25 22:32
wiki.d/Courses.ECE537-2013SpeechProcessing
On to /etc/apache2:
the config file says:
<Directory /var/www/wiki/>
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/wiki.d/>
Options +Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from All
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/wiki/Courses/ECE5372013SpeechProcessing/>
Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from All
</Directory>
I did:
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart
* Restarting web server apache2
What am I doing wrong
Is this a pmwiki or apache2 problem?
