the default .htaccess needs a valid RewriteBase

[Leo Unglaub]

Hi,
in some cases chive don't work as expected if there is no valid RewriteBase defined in the .htaccess file. Maybe you can add a default RewriteBase / for all cases.

In my special case i added chive to all vhosts on a server with a vhost include. So every vhost has /chive available. But if you do that with Alias /chive /var/www/chive you can't call the site without the index.php. You HAVE to add it every time. So you need a RewriteBase /chive or all rules are matching those ones:

# otherwise forward it to index.php
RewriteRule . index.php?__chive_rewrite_on=1&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^$ index.php?__chive_rewrite_on=1&%{QUERY_STRING}

I hope that helps people who had the same problem.

Greetings
Leo
