Hi Gurus,

I downloaded the latest version of phpbb-seo kit from the portal and setup a portal on XAMPP.
When I try to configure URL rewriting in simple/mixed modes, I'm getting issues.I didnt try advanced mode as the basic ones are not working. I tried searching this forum , got some threads , but I'm unable to fix the issue, hence this post. , here are the details:

created a directory 2tasty in the root directory(means my portal will work if i try localhost/2tasty, I have some other portals working out as local/portal1 etc), copied all the files there, followed the instructions to create .htaccess file and placed it in the physical directory that maps to localhost/2tasty. When I try mixed more rewrite, I get the below message

"Error 404 localhost
02/23/10 20:46:11
Apache/2.2.12 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0"

on my chrome browser. Pls find below the contents from htaccess. Please go through and let me know how I can get this fixed.

Please help to get his fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Replace
RewriteBase /
with
RewriteBase /2tasty/

Then remove /2tasty from the front of all the rest of the lines.

You don't need to use any slash option with xampp (no ^/ as in your example).
