PMwiki doesn't work anymore after upgrade to CentOS7

Question

We had PMwiki installed in a few directories under public_html running on our old CentOS6 server.

The home directories were on a file system (RAID) separate from the system, so they were not affected by the installation of CentOS7 from scratch.

Now the 'normal' pages under public_html are accessible, php works (version 7 instead of 5), mysql works, but when i point the browser to one of the pmwiki-pages nothing is displayed, not even an error message.

On another post from here i read that to port pmwiki from one server to another one it is sufficient to copy the wiki.d directory. But in this case i didn't even touch the pmwiki.

Is there a way to get the system going again, or at least to find out what the problem is?

edit:

To clarify:

http://newserver/~QHG/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/QHG2/QHG2

does not work, but

http://newserver/~QHG/pmwiki/test.html

does work

Maybe Selinux? Firewall? Check locally if it works, eg. `curl http://localhost` — Mike Doe, Jul 04 '19 at 08:03
Usually apache returns an error message if it can't access a page. But in this case no error is displayed, just a blank page. — user1479670, Jul 04 '19 at 08:51

I think, the problem is around .htaccess config and your Clean URLs config.

You can download and install fresh PmWiki package and see if it works from the box. If it works, compare .htaccess and /local/config.php files from both installs to find out what is wrong.
