Problem with .htaccess on localhost

Check your default apache configuration. It's quite possible that Apache does not allow you to use an .htaccess file.

You need to have something like

Code:

<Directory /website/rootdir/>
                ...
                # AllowOverride None  <-- This is the default. Set it as below
                AllowOverride All
                ...
</Directory>
