URL Rewriting doesn't seem to work. Apache2

apache, apache-modules, apache2

Solution

Ok well I fixed the problem, this is how I did it.

`sudo gedit /etc/apache2/sites-available/default`

and then I modified `AllowOverride None` to `AllowOverride all` in the `/var/www/` part of the file

<Directory /var/www/>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all #This was 'None' before, change it to 'all'
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Problem

I would like it so that when the user goes to `http://mysite.com/home` that it redirects him to `http://mysite.com/page.php?id=home`. This is what I put in my .htaccess, but it doesn't seem to work. ``` RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ page.php?id=$1 [NC,L] ``` It just sends me to the /home directory, with a nice 404. Help is appreciated. Thanks. Edit: I've tried some rewrite I know work, so now I'm certain it's not that my problem. I checked with `phpinfo()` and yes, mod rewrite is running, I set up apache2 with LAMP, I'm running the latest version of Linux Mint.
