  * If web service is not working correctly, the most common problem is that the .htaccess file has the wrong 'RewriteBase' path.
    It should reflect the path that is after your websites url. E.g. if you have www.mywebsite.com/dir1/sp/api then .htaccess file should have 'RewriteBase' path of /dir1/sp/api/
