Specifically, look up the directive &quot;AllowOverride&quot; as pertains to your document root directory and set it to &quot;All&quot;. Restart apache and try again. <br>

Thanks Steve,<div>The module is setup ok as i have a rule the forces <a href="http://www.mydomain.com" target="_blank">www.mydomain.com</a> instead of <a href="http://mydomain.com" target="_blank">mydomain.com</a> and it works fine but for some reason the rule you gave me does not work.<br>
