Hey everyone!
So, if I keep .htaccess.dist name as is in the main folder, pages of the wiki (including logging out) return a 404 error, all while dokuwiki.txt remains accessible publicly.
If I rename it to .htaccess, the wiki functions normally, but dokuwiki.txt remains publicly accessible.
Here's my .htaccess file in main folder (the ones in other folders remain unchanged). Keep in mind, I played around with RewriteBase to no avail.
## You should disable Indexes and MultiViews either here or in the
## global config. Symlinks maybe needed for URL rewriting.
Options -Indexes -MultiViews +FollowSymLinks
## make sure nobody gets the htaccess, README, COPYING or VERSION files
<Files ~ "^([\._]ht|README$|VERSION$|COPYING$)">
<IfModule mod_authz_host>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !mod_authz_host>
Order allow,deny
Deny from all
</IfModule>
</Files>
## Don't allow access to git directories
<IfModule alias_module>
RedirectMatch 404 /\.git
</IfModule>
## Uncomment these rules if you want to have nice URLs using
## $conf['userewrite'] = 1 - not needed for rewrite mode 2

## If you enable DokuWikis XML-RPC interface, you should consider to

I am using nginx+apache with plesk 12 on linux, on a shared web hosting solution. The wiki is located in a subdomain (root: /sub.domain.com).
