I'm hosting a omeka-2.1.4 on xampp, and after defining db.ini and everything else mentioned in the instalation tutorial I keep getting "Error 500" and the Apache error.log is giving out "[Wed Mar 05 13:30:42.532414 2014] [core:alert] [pid 4468:tid 1808] [client ::1:49532] C:/xampp/htdocs/omeka/.htaccess: RewriteBase takes one argument, the base URL of the per-directory context".
Any idea what could be causing this error?
Looks like you may have some kind of syntax error in your .htaccess file.
What's it look like, particularly the RewriteBase line?

After I comment RewriteBase omeka-2.1.1 I get
"Installation Error
mod_rewrite is not enabled.
Apache's mod_rewrite extension must be enabled for Omeka to work properly. Please enable mod_rewrite and try again. "
And I've tried to do this

This sounds really close to the problem I'm having with my installation, any update on this? I did already edit by httpd file to AllowOverride All and LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so is uncommented
