Mambo SEO help

So this is your basic .htaccess file:
# $Id: htaccess.txt,v 1.10 2003/12/22 10:37:29 rcastley Exp $
#
# htaccess file for SEF

RewriteBase /index.php

wich on the original site ( www.miu.ro ) works just fine as u can very easily see, but here, http://70.103.16.155/~miuro/ it seems to be repeating the ~miuro/ part indeffinately thus failing at doing it's job.

Any means to make it work or should I forget the search friendly url's?
Any help would be appreciated as I've not found something similar through the search function. Thank you.

IMO it will only work under root folder of your website, you have to choose wether in root folder or subfolder. set on this line
RewriteBase /index.php for root folder, and
RewriteBase /subfolder/index.php for subfolder

That's awesome.
