Problem solved, the AllowOverride section in httpd.conf was set to none.
As a result directions in .htaccess were being ignored.

Hi,
I am busy setting up my (web) development environment on my new F7
machine and have found that mod_rewrite in Apache is not working.
phpinfo() reports that mod_rewrite is loaded, but running a little test
like that below fails.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^test.html$ /test2.html [R=301]
Some searching tells me that mod_rewrite is usually compiled into Apache
by default.
Can anyone tell me if mod_rewrite works for them without any changes to
the F& Apache install?
Regards,
Langdon
