What they describe there is all very reasonable and should in fact
make live quite a bit easier with DokuWiki. I don't see anything that
would explain problems with fetch.php

That's fine too, because non-PHP files should always be delivered by
Apache. Files in DokuWiki are delivered by fetch.php which is a PHP
script. If that doesn't work anymore it means they use a very messed
up method of deciding if a file is a PHP file or not.

They say that in the link you mentioned above. But if you get errors
it means they did not change file ownership as they said they would.
