[pmwiki-users] cleanest browser entry?

[Crisses]

easiest is to change pmwiki.php to index.php

That one line answer gets you ugly urls 
(www.somedomain.com/index.php/Main/Homepage) but is better than some 
configs.

There is a cookbook entry for cleaner URLs on the website. see 
http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/CleanUrls

My favorite is to change the wrapper to "wiki" then create an .htaccess 
file in the wikifield that has:
DirectoryIndex wiki
<Files wiki>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

if the .htaccess and wiki wrapper are in the base directory of the url, 
somedomain.com gets you straight to the wiki wrapper and subsequent 
pages should appear as www.somedomain.com/wiki/Main/Homepage

I am trying out the other method with the rewrite on for the first time 
as an experiment on my laptop, trying to decide whether I like it.

The criticism has been raised--from both inside and outside the mental 
health professions--that psychotherapy can be viewed as an attempt to 
get people adjusted to a "sick" society rather than to encourage them 
to work towards its improvement.  As a consequence, psychotherapy has 
often been considered the guardian of the status quo....
Each time therapists decide that one behavior should be eliminated or 
substituted for another, however, they are making a value judgement....
There are strong pressures on a therapist--from parents, schools, 
courts, and other social institutions--to help people adjust to the 
world as it is.
