htaccess problem urgent - site down

[eluser]Ed Robindon[/eluser]
I tried your htaccess on a clean ci install and it would only work on the welcome page. It would not work with my simple test controller: it took me to my wamp server's info page.

I commented out the RewriteBase and it now works fime.

Has the mod_rewrite module been removed from the host server? I turned it off on my server and htaccess no longer works - as expected.

Never have understood what RewriteBase does but it has caused me grief in the past.
