mod_rewrite with Virtual Host and .htaccess - need a clue

[JPH]

I have the following in my httpd.conf
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\gumburys.com"
ServerName test.gumburys.com
<Directory / >
Options ExecCGI FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I have only the following in my .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*).php /cat/list.php?category=$1 [NC,R]

If I go to: http//test.gumburys.com/One.php, I get a 404 - Not Found.

In the Apache access log, I get:
127.0.0.1 - - [01/Jun/2004:16:24:17 -0400] "GET /One.php HTTP/1.1" 404 299

In the Error log, I don't get an error.

The server works fine otherwise. I am coding this on Windows, for upload to
Linux. I have obviously overlooked something. Any clues would be
appreciated.

Thank you,
Josh

Also,
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
is activated.

Have you got an AllowOverride directive in your httpd.conf?

Looks like your .htaccess file is being ignored, which might be because you
haven't enabled them in your httpd.conf.

I put in AllowOverride All and things have started working. Also, I found
this guide which may be of help to others on Windows:

I'm running Windows 2000, so I should only need the following in my
httpd.conf:

I added AllowOverride On and that seems to have gotten things working. I

I'm running Windows 2000, so I should only need the following to enable
.htaccess, which was on already:
AccessFileName .htaccess
All the best,
