mod_rewrite loaded but not working

[Zarathu]

I have seriously followed every online tutorial and nothing is working at all. I know that mod_rewrite is loaded, but it doesn't give a rat's *** about the .htaccess

Here are some configs:

apache2.conf:
http://www.thesarcasm.com/paste.php?id=2341125

/var/www/.htaccess: (the root of my PHP files)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}   ^myusername\.homeunix\.com$
RewriteRule ^/(.*)         http://google.com/$1 [L,R]

/etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default:
http://www.thesarcasm.com/paste.php?id=7271524

root@jesus:/etc/apache2# ls -l mods-available/ mods-enabled/ | grep "rewrite"
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root   66 2007-08-16 17:45 rewrite.load
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 233 2007-12-19 21:00 rewrite.load
root@jesus:/etc/apache2#

mods-available/rewrite.load:

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

mods-enabled/rewrite.load:

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^myusername\.homeunix\.com$ http://www.google.com [R]
</IfModule>

Any ideas?

read this link and it should explain what is going on with your
.htaccess
it is ignored until you change your httpd file to allow it to use it
Here is another good link with even better information

Odd.

Alright, so I put "AllowOverride AuthConfig" in the /var/www <Directory>.

Now, if I have even the slightest thing in my /var/www/.htaccess, it gives a 500 response code and says "<Whatever> is not allowed here." in the error.log.

i just found this

# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files. # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords: # Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit # AllowOverride All The all directive allows all directives to be placed within an .htaccess file about line 328 you will find: # AccessFileName: The name of the file to look for in each directory # for additional configuration directives. See also the AllowOverride # directive. # AccessFileName .htaccess # # The following lines prevent .htaccess and .htpasswd files from being # viewed by Web clients. # <Files ~ "^\.ht"> Order allow,deny Deny from all </Files> AccessFileName defines what the access filename will be ...I imagine you can name it anything you want but .htaccess is the norm.

I think you need to change it to "all"

This is from RewriteLog:

I got it reading from the .htaccess file now, which is great.

.htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.myusername\.homeunix\.com$ myusername.homeunix.com/blog/$1/index.php

Still not working, though. :/
