NOTES


GIST does not allow folders. Manually create a pages folder, move 404.html, about.html, index.html inside.
Recommended - Create pages/.htaccess with one line Deny from all. This will disallow direct access, I.E. http://site.com/pages/about.html will throw 403 forbidden.
Make sure that mod_rewrite is enabled in Apache.
Change the path in .htaccess if not deployed in the base path. For example, http://site.com/DEMO/ - RewriteBase /DEMO/ and RewriteRule /DEMO/ index.php [L]
Also change the base URL in index.php if not deployed in the base path - define("URL_BASE", "/DEMO/")
