.htaccess issue (documentation suggestion)

[KenYN]

On one of the servers I have set up Tonic on, I needed to add this to .htaccess:

RewriteBase /~kenyn/tonic

Without that line, Apache was expanding the /~kenyn/tonic/ part of URLs to /home/kenyn/public_html/tonic/dispatch.php/ and giving me a 404 Not Found error.

@KenYN I'm curious what your tonic Application options looks like. Are you passing baseUri, mount, are you passing an explicit uri? Have you taken a look at this https://github.com/peej/tonic/blob/master/src/Tonic/Request.php#L185-L197 you can see if not passing an explicit uri to options, it first uses apache's REDIRECT_URL, which is set by mod_rewrite, and other ways. For instance, I am running php through cgi, and using mod_rewrite. So my version of REDIRECT_URL is always incorrect. To get around this, I just pass 'uri' => parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH), explicitly as an option.

I tried setting my RewriteBase in .htaccess like you, but doesn't seem to have any effect for cgi. What I am doing is fine, but just curious if you had any suggestions?
