Synopsis

RewriteBase url

Description

[Within <Directory> or .htaccess]

Sets the base directory for rewrites. This specifies a portion of the URI that will not be modified by any subsequent rewriting, even if the URI maps to a different filesystem. For example:

RewriteBase /files

This directive tells the rewriting engine to ignore the files directory in the URI when rewriting.
