[pmwiki-users] Clean URLs (Another question from the newbie)

[Eric Celeste]

I believe you want the RewriteBase to be the root as served rather than the
root as stored. Try "RewriteBase /" instead.
Note, the should also allow "http://localhost" without the "index.php" to
bring up your site.

Also, for this to work your Apache server on the localhost must have
mod_rewrite activated. You might want to check to be sure this is the case.
