[dokuwiki] Re: what is the startpage of a whole dokuwiki?

Let's clear something up here....

The only thing that $conf['start'] does is tell dokuwiki which page to
go to when you go to http://www.mydomain.com/

If you change $conf[start] to "index", it will load the
dokuwiki/data/pages/index.txt file.

That's it.

No other behaviour changes.

This is incorrect.  There are plugins for this, but you said you
didn't install any plugins.

You *need* to set the start page, so that you can link to it from other pages.

The rest of your wiki shouldn't *have* to change at all.

You might want to change it so that the "index" type pages for a
namespace are within the namespace instead of "beside" it (to make the
ACL's easier), but that is really up to you and how you want to work.
