.htaccess

Hi,

I can't seem to find my problem with this really simple .htaccess file:

Options -Indexes



Options +FollowSymLinks

RewriteEngine on

RewriteBase /d/

#drupal style url rewriting

RewriteRule ^([^.]*)$ index.php?path=$1 [L]

It works as intended for everything except the root url with no slash. So it rewrites and passes the hidden get querystring to my pages for localhost/d/x/y/z as ?path=x/y/z and localhost/d/ as ?path= (blank) but...

localhost/d works, but now appears in the address bar as this ugly monster:

http://localhost/d/?path=/Users/audiozoom/Documents/webroot/d

What could be the problem?
