[BNM] Mod rewrite problem

[Steve Purkiss]

You could set it to / or /html, depends on your hosting setup - if
it's on shared hosting and you have cpanel or similar it will give you
hints.

Sometimes you don't need the rewritebase explicitly set, but if it's
getting a 404 that's a good place to start.

Also double-check your rewriterule syntax - there's an example on the
link I sent.
