RewriteRule ^$ pmwiki.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*?)(\?|$) pmwiki.php?n=$1 [QSA,L]

5. Save and close the .htaccess file.
6. Create a new file called 'config.php' using the following command:

sudo nano config.php

7. Add the following lines to the config.php file:

<?php if (!defined('PmWiki')) exit();
$WikiTitle='My Wiki';
$DefaultPage='Main.HomePage';
$PageLogoUrl = 'http://yourdomain.com/logo.gif';

8. Save and close the config.php file.
