title: Karma's base directory location
body: <p>Unable to load template fixtures for my tests while using karma. To simplify,</p>
  
  <p>Went to c:\</p>
  
  <p>Created a 1.txt text file. </p>
  
  <p>Made a simple karma init file containing:</p>
  
  <pre><code>basePath: '',
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Started karma using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>C:\&gt; karma start .\sample.conf.js
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Chrome opened up at: </p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:9876/?id=49209467
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I then tried to navigate to:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:9876/base/1.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but got a "NOT FOUND" error message in the browser, and a message from karma:</p>
  
  <pre><code>WARN [web-server]: 404: /base/1.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing here?</p>
