[users@httpd] RewriteRule ignored in .htaccess file in Apache 2.2.3

Hello,

I have a problem:
I tried to use RewriteRule in a .htaccess file and it does not work. Its totally ignored by mod_rewrite. And its strange because in the configuration file of Apache it works.
And I put in the main configuration file:
<Directory /var/www/*/html>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        allow from all
</Directory>

So there is AllowOverride All, and when I put garbage (e.g. "fhlsdljkfds") in the .htaccess file, I get error 500. So the .htaccess file is parsed.

But when I put:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/intranet$              /internet [R]

Its ignored. I also create a log file for the mod_rewrite, and the log file is create but has the filesize of 0 bytes.

Does somebody knows how to tell mod_rewrite to not ignore the .htaccess file?

Best regards,
saf

Prefix matching rules are different in .htaccess files. See the
"Per-directory Rewrites" box under
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule

In particular, you'll likely need to remove the leading slash.

Joshua.
