Hi in default configuration file of apache i have insert this:  
Alias /miro “/var/www/tesi/public”  
\<Directory “/var/www/tesi/public”\>  
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks  
AddHandler fcgid-script .fcgi  
AllowOverride all  
Order allow,deny  
Allow from all

in .htaccess file i have insert:  
RewriteBase /miro/

if i launch [http://localhost/miro](http://localhost/miro)  
it works but the ilnks in the page send to [http://localhost/link](http://localhost/link) and not  
[http://localhost/miro/link](http://localhost/miro/link)

How i can do to set miro like document root?  
Thanks
