Yeh so it says, but that's not just the way it happens. Trust me, I've 
had it without the path, it didn't work. After debugging with the 
rewrite log I figured it was NOT the filesystem path. I didn't 
investigate further. If I'm really bored I'll try different setups using 
VirtualHost and Location directives and .htacces files. I'm sure that's 
where the dog has been buried [1] :-)
