[solved] Trouble accessing /processwire from IP address

[MarcC]

I have a site set up like 111.222.33.44/~example/pw and /pw is where Processwire lives. The front page loads fine, but I can't access /processwire or any other virtual subdirectories via rewrite (error 404). I opened .htaccess to mash my keyboard and test for an error, and I did get an error, so it seems the .htaccess file is being read. Any advice?

I'm on mobile so sorry for short answer. There is one setting in htaccess you have to set because you have ~ in your url.

It is well commented so read the htaccess file and you should find help.

Ah, that was a perfect answer! Thank you. I uncommented this line:

RewriteBase /~username

And changed it to:

RewriteBase /~example/pw/

...and everything works now. Thanks again.
