Okay, although I don't have any loop. Just so I understand you are suggesting that since the wiki is installed at .../wiki I should use urls of the form .../w/PageTitle and rewrite them to .../wiki/index.php/PageTitle
You could if you want. On Wikipedia we have /w/index.php and /wiki/Foo.
I'm just getting a 404 Object Not Found http reply and the error log has an entry File does not exist: /var/www/html/wiki/index.php/Astronaut:John_Glenn
where Astronaut:John Glenn is the article title. http://www.denhaven2.homeip.net/wiki/index.php?Astronaut:John Glenn works fine.

Pointing my web browser to this (via Apache) reports:
sapi name is apache2filter
apache2filter doesn't allow you to use the PATH_INFO extra information (eg index.php/Foo). If you try, you get a 404 error.
And this seems to turn off pretty URLS. Is this a difference between 1.3 and 1.4?
No, nothing's changed wrt that. That wouldn't have worked in 1.3 or 1.2 either with apache2filter.
Is this something which I can change? I know very little about configuring PHP.
Reinstall PHP with apache2handler selected as the SAPI if you want index.php/Foo to work. See PHP documentation on configuring and compiling PHP.
