Config base url with "/~someword"

[quote author="PravinS" date="1371187027"]Are you getting any error when you use ~ in base url?

also check "$config['permitted_uri_chars']" in your config file and check where ~ character is permitted or not.

I'm seeing this same problem and I've tried to allow tildes in URLs as follows:

Code:

$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\\-~';

Still not working.
