Is your .htaccess file in C:\wamp\www
If it is, edit it and add an invalid command to the file, eg
hello
if Apache is reading the .htaccess properly it should display a 500 Internal Server Error when going to [
localhost]
If you're getting an error you can now delete the invalid command added earlier. For some reason your rewrite rules are not working.
If you're not getting the 500 Internal Server Error message then Apache is not reading your .htaccess file. Left click the WAMP tray icon and choose Apache > httpd.conf
Find the following lines
# 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
#
After those lines you should see a line like so
AllowOverride
After AllowOverride make sure it has the word 'all' (without the quotes) after it. If you make any changes to the httpd.conf make sure you restart Apache service
