Re: [cgiapp] CGI::App::Dispatch mod_rewrite

[David Baxter <suppressed>]

Hi Rob,

I'm no expert at mod_rewrite, but to me it looks like your rewrite rule 
would change:

www.website.com/admin/categories/edit/123

to

www.website.com/admin/dispatch.cgi/admin/categories/edit/123

If your rewrite rules are in a .htaccess file in your /admin directory, 
you need to change the RewriteBase line to:

RewriteBase /admin

Hope that works for you.

Regards,

David
