.htaccess will not listen!

[Patrick3002]

Hi, right now in my .htaccess file that is located in C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\public_html along with lyric.php and all of my other files to my website.

 

When i put this rewrite rule in my .htaccess file, what i want to happen doesn't happen.

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ lyric.php?uname=$1

 

What im trying to do is, if you type in:

http://lyricdbonline.com/patrick3002    --It will simply redirect you to:

 

http://lyricdbonline.com/lyric.php?uname=patrick3002

 

 

Any ideas?
