jerak,

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com]!

Can't give a good answer without more details...

What does your server error log say?
Do you have any other rewriterules in httpd.conf that *do* work?
Have you enabled Options FollowSymLinks or Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch as required by mod_rewrite?

there is nothing is my server error log, i have "Options All" set in the directory, and i have no other rewriterules

[jerak]

wait, sorry, i missed this the first time... it says:

[Sat Aug 07 23:35:07 2004] [error] [client 64.110.207.102] File does not exist: c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/~test

so obviously the rewrite isnt working at all...

Check to see if you have the lines
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c
in your httpd.conf -- they may be commented out.
