I would like to test mod_rewrite functionality on my own Apache server.. so I've read many thread all over the net but... This is my situation...
Running phpinfo()... I can see ...
[...]
apache2handler
Apache Version Apache/2.0.52 (Fedora)
[...]
Loaded Modules core prefork http_core mod_so mod_access mod_auth mod_auth_anon mod_auth_dbm mod_auth_digest util_ldap mod_auth_ldap mod_include mod_log_config mod_env mod_mime_magic mod_cern_meta mod_expires mod_deflate mod_headers mod_usertrack mod_unique_id mod_setenvif mod_mime mod_dav mod_status mod_autoindex mod_asis mod_info mod_dav_fs mod_vhost_alias mod_negotiation mod_dir mod_imap mod_actions mod_speling mod_userdir mod_alias mod_rewrite mod_proxy proxy_ftp proxy_http proxy_connect mod_cache mod_suexec mod_disk_cache mod_file_cache mod_mem_cache mod_cgi mod_auth_mysql mod_perl sapi_apache2 mod_python mod_ssl

So mod_rewrite is enabled...

Then I would like to see if my server allow .htaccess override...
so to check this... I've written a simple command in .htaccess
Redirect /google.html http://www.google.com

But if I browse over it... http://localhost/Rewrite_Tester/google.html
I get a 404 error page...

This is part of my http.conf file...
[...]

Change:
Redirect /google.html http://www.google.com
to:
Redirect /Rewrite_Tester http://www.google.com
or it may need to be:
Redirect /Rewrite_Tester/ http://www.google.com
depending on your apache installation. It looks like Redirect only accepts paths and not file names.

Yesss... solved!!!
Thank you

In fact in my original .htaccess there were a slash...
RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php [not working]
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php [working]

You also realize that Redirect is mod_alias yes?

What do you mean ???
I dont' understand your suggestion... :-|

Where you used Redirect /google.html http://www.google.com. Redirect is an apache directive. If you go here you will see that it clearly states Module: mod_alias.

I don't see any spot in your origional post where you actually used mod_rewrite. At any rate I am glad you have had some success :)
