when I put the omeka files in the server root which in my case is /htdocs/omeka/ it works but when I put it in the user's home directory, in this case /home/pfyfeomeka/public_html/omeka/ then I type in the url on my browser (http://english3.fsu.edu/~pfyfeomeka/omeka/project) I get this displayed on the screen: The requested URL /home/pfyfeomeka/public_html/omeka/index.php was not found on this server. and this from the server log: [error] [client 24.98.234.250] File does not exist: /htdocs/home
which indicates that it is looking in the server root for the files.
this happens when my rewrite base is commented out or when I have:
RewriteBase /home/pfyfeomeka/public_html/omeka
also tried
RewriteBase /home/pfyfeomeka/public_html/omeka/
and
RewriteBase ~pfyfeomeka/omeka
