apache mod_rewrite not working

[whyiturn]

I can't for the life of me figure out what's going wrong here.

I have mod_rewrite and mod_proxy loaded properly for the apache2 package in 11.04.

I added the following to the bottom of my apache2.conf:

RewriteEngine: On
RewriteRule: ^/$ /test [L]

The server restarts fine, but / is not getting rewritten in the slightest. And when I added the RewriteLog directive, the log file had absolutely nothing in it. What might be the issue here?

Same here. For the life of me cannot figure this out. Have followed a slew of examples.

Did you find a solution?

You need to put these directives in the <VirtualHost> container for the site in question. Rewrite commands are not global; they apply to specific virtual hosts.
