mod_rewrite help.

[Kismet]

I cannot get mod_rewrite to work.
I have enabled it through 'sudo a2enmod rewrite'.

Under /mods-enabled/ there is 'rewrite.load'
contents
LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so


Here is a snippet of my /sites-enabled/ file

<VirtualHost *>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localhost

DocumentRoot /var/www/
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory /var/www/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
#RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
RewriteRule ^/bob$ /temp1/temp1/temp2

</Directory>

under /var/www/ I have temp1/temp1/temp2 directories set up just to try and test this.

I've tried putting the rewrite rule just under the virtual host, in a .htaccess file, in the httpd.conf. Nothing works.

grepping the access.log and error.log for '[Rr]ewrite' produces no results. There are no mod_rewrite logs.

It looks to me like the module is never actually getting loaded. But who knows.

I am completely frustated and lost, any suggestions????

Thanks for any insight!
