Simple problem with mod_rewrite in the Fat Free Framework

So my friend actually helped me out with this issue. I ran into the exact same problem, but basically I'm using MAMP also and have all my Fat Free files within a fatfree dir within htdocs of MAMP.

The solution is you need to mod the RewriteBase to point to /[dirname]/ instead of just / and then change RewriteRule to /[dirname]/index.php.

My .htaccess looks like this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /fatfree/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule .* /fatfree/index.php [L,QSA]

After that's set, you can follow the example in the Fat Free doc exactly and it'll work like a charm. This stumped me for a while and this was all it needed. Also, if you're using MAMP, edit the httpd.conf file in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache and be sure to alter the following:

<Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

to

<Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

Basically change None to All.

If you're running F3 under a subfolder, you must change the RewriteBase in .htaccess to match the folder.
