.htaccess not working?

[eluser]zulubanslee[/eluser]
I was developing on a wampserver setup, but I installed linux as a guest OS using virtual box. I ported the whole thing over to the new setup and the front page loads but nothing else. I tried to do a simple login:

This does not work (404):
localhost/mysite/login

This works:
localhost/mysite/index.php/login

The .htaccess file should be deleting the index.php, but it's not working, don't know why.

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

I would compare your apache.conf files. I'd bet the one on your new box is more restrictive than the one one your dev box.
Also, post your htaccess.
