Rewrite Engine doesn't work

[kerosin]

On my box seems to don't work RewriteEngine (not in .htaccess not in httpd.conf).

I'm using apache from last buildapache.sea build (Oct 16 18:46) with enabled Rewrite module option.

in httpd.conf is present:

LoadModule rewrite_module libexec/mod_rewrite.so
and
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

and I was trying to put rules in both .htaccess and httpd.conf(virtualhost section):

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/$ http://nantucketmail.com [L]

but with no success.

so I really don't know what can be wrong.

Is RewriteEngine working for somebody else (RewriteEngine is also used for Hotlink Protection- does it work for you )?



Thanks

Michal

Did you restart apache after making the changes to httpd.conf?

the rewrite engine's rather picky and takes some extra tuning usually to get things the way it likes it. Try this instead:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://nantucketmail.com/ [L]
