htaccess not rewriting.

[JunkMale]

I am struggling to work out why URL rewriting is not functioning properly.

# .htaccess file for Smartest installations that use Apache 
 # Auto generated by Smartest on Dec 11th, 2011 at 08:04 am. No further automated modifications will take place on this file. 

 php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off 
 php_flag register_globals off 
 php_flag session.auto_start off 
 php_value session.name "SMARTEST" 
 php_value display_errors 0 

 Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI 

 # allow for files with any dot suffix or none at all to be processed by PHP 
 AddType application/x-httpd-php * 

 # Activate mod_rewrite 
 RewriteEngine On 

 # This line is important if you are running other apps in sub directories 
 RewriteBase // 

 # Forward anything that doesn't correspond to a real file to Smartest 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L] 

 # People trying to browse around the resources dir should be forwarded to Smartest 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d 
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/Resources/ 
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L] 

 ErrorDocument 404 //Resources/System/Notices/NoApache404.html

I changed the RewriteBase // to RewriteBase /cms/ as suggested but that did not help one bit.

the /cms folder is off the site root, the /Public folder is off the /cms folder. Basically anyone attempting to access /cms/Resources should be pushed to the /cms/smartest folder.

Its not happening and the help I have had with this so far has not resolved the problem.

The above .htaccess is generated as part of the install. I didn't write it...

Any ideas?
