Hi.  
I am starting to use Slim, step by step installing slim and Psr7 and copying the initial demo code and I always get 500 error.  
I also create the .htaccess file in the same folder ( the main folder) as index.php. I don’t understand what’s happening because I’m following the guide.  
I’m using Linux and Xamp, php 8.1, slim 4.10. I also have probe it in windows with Wamp server with identical result.

Can anyone get me some light about this?😉  
Thanks…

Must be something about the Apache server because if I use this sentence

```auto
$app->setBasePath('/myapp');

```

it works, but in the official documentation indicates this as a other way to configurate the app. Well, thanks for all.

The regex looks not correct to me and the basePath must be set.

Can you try this solution here?
