Unfortunately, neither one of these tricks are working. :(  I was hoping 
for a way that the wiki could redirect.  FYI, I use site5 for my 
hosting.  Here's my .htaccess:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
#RewriteEngine On
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?title=$1 [L,QSA]
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /docs
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^(.*/[^\./]*[^/])$ $1/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ wikka.php?wakka=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
RewriteRule ^index.php.*$ HomePage/
Redirect permanent http://docs.mypclinuxos.com/index.php?title=Main_Page 
http://docs.mypclinuxos.com/


You can see from the Redirect permanent rule above what I'm trying to 
get done. :/
