I have seen this in a few .htaccess examples
RewriteBase /
It appears to be somewhat similar in functionality to the <base href=""> of HTML.
I believe it may automatically prepend its value to the beginning of RewriteRule statements (possibly ones without a leading slash)?
I could not get it to work properly. I think it’s use could come in very handy for site portability, as I often have a development server which is different to a production one. My current method leaves me deleting portions out of my RewriteRule statements.
Can anyone explain to me briefly how to implement it?
Thanks
