Another mod_rewrite problem

[denno020]

Sorry to post another issue about this, but it's seriously got me stumped as to why this isn't working..

 

I have wamp 2.2 running with Apache 2.2.22. I have loaded the mod_rewrite module (it appears correctly when running phpinfo()). I have also added the line 'AllowOverride all' to my httpd.conf file between the <directory> tags for my document root folder:

 

<Directory "C:/Users/Denno/Documents/Development">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
 
    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride all
 
    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #
 
#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
 
</Directory>

 

I have a htaccess file, first line is RewriteEngine On, then I have my conditions.

 

The problem is that it just doesn't work. I continually get a 404 URL not found error, even though my condition is to match the entire url, and throw it into a url GET variable on index.php. So basically typing anything into the address bar, after localhost, should work.

 

I tried uninstalling wamp and reinstalling, but somehow it remembered my httpd.conf file! Even though it was deleted, I checked..

 

I'm going to dump the files that I think are relevant into code tags below, could someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

P.S. I have two files in my test directory, the htaccess file and index.php.

 

httpd.conf:

 

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file.  It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2> for detailed information.
# In particular, see 
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do.  They're here only as hints or reminders.  If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.  
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path.  If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/Program Files/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default.  It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths to avoid confusion.
 
#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path.  If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk.  If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "c:/wamp/bin/apache/apache2.2.22"
 
#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to 
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses.
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 80

# have to place corresponding `LoadModule' lines at this location so the

Thank you for reading this far

If you put random and most certainly invalid nonsense in the .htaccess, Apache throws a 500 if you try to do anything at all with your site?

Well what is the random and most certainly invalid nonsense that I have in there?
