If you are going to use mod_rewrite, you unfortunately are going to
need to dig into its docs to understand what you are doing. It's not
fun, but it is necessary.
Just to get you started, when using mod_rewrite in an .htaccess file,
references become relative, so you need to remove the leading / at
least. See the RewriteBase directive.
