I'm trying to use the basepath filter in webby to rewrite all of the URLs in my project.
The documentation on the basepath filter for Webby is a little bit "light" concerning this, and there just simply isn't enough of it that I can understand how to use it.
If I find the solution to this, however I plan to contribute some documentation to the project.
I also understand that in order for this to work, I'm supposed to have all of my paths for the URLs it rewrites to start with "/".
I've tried applying the filter like so, to my default.txt template...
---
extension: html
filter: erb
basepath
---
** - Top of layouts/default.txt**
Then I run the command:
leeand00@someHost: webby rebuild BASE='http://www.yahoo.com/bob/'
** - Running the command from the root directory of the project**
but all I get is an error...
** Invoke rebuild (first_time)
** Invoke configure_basepath (first_time)
** Execute configure_basepath
** Execute rebuild
webby aborted!

Try changing your filters section so that it uses valid webby syntax. It should look like this:
---
extension: html
filter:
- erb
- basepath
---
