$wgScriptPath = "$wgScriptPath/wiki";
I changed that to read
$wgScriptPath = "/wikific"; instead, and now I get a 404 Page Not Found error-- it's trying to use the Short URLs and the software won't let it. In other words, it's trying to load http://seventh-star.net/wikific/Main_Page and that's not working.
I was looking at the manual (http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:%24wgUsePathInfo) and the line referenced on that page isn't in my LocalSettings.php, not even as "false," because as previously mentioned, I'm using PHP as CGI. But from what I've found there ARE ways to use Pretty URL with PHP as CGI and *NO* root access... right?
