Greetings all I am testing out mod_rewrite on apache 2.4

I have a directory called test in htdocs.
I have 2 files index.html
And rewriteme.html
my rewrite rule is:

Code:

Alias /test /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test/

<Directory test>
RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^/test/?$ /test/rewriteme.html [R]
#RewriteRule ^/test/* /test/rewriteme.html [R]
# Next test the HTTP Authorization data should be passed
# to the CGI scripts running from this directory
#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
</Directory>

Which I think says anything I try to go to in test will redirect me to test/rewriteme.html
however when I go to localhost/test I can see index.html's contents.
Any thoughts?

EDIT: I don't have to put anything special in /etc/conf.d/apache2 do I ?

Fixed it. Funny apache bug mod_rewrite can not use an alias.
Something like this should be a good test if you have mod_rewrite working.

Quote:

#DocumentRoot /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test
Alias /test /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test
<Directory /var/www/localhost/htdocs/test/>
RewriteBase /test/
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^wrong.html$ correct.html [R]
Require all granted
</Directory>

Got my answer here:
