> mod_rewrite doesn't work Rewrite module is loaded by default, but allowing user to specify rewrites (or anything else) via .htaccess files is disabled in stock apache configurations.
To allow that, change "AllowOverride None" to "AllowOverride All" in line ~161 of httpd.conf, allowing overriding anything in user .htaccess files, Now you can create /var/apache/2.2/htdocs/.htaccess: RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^zzz$ index.html and visiting http://127.0.0.1/zzz should give "It works!" message.
