All, need your advice, I'm using WAMP, after installing WAMP i'm trying a simple code in htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule google http://www.google.com/? [R,L]


but its not wotking?

i make it more simple, i create file named alice.html and bob.html that show alice and bob words, thus i create .htaccess file like this Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html

when i see write in broser mysite.com/alice.html page and content still alice.html, it should be content with bob.html, what wrong???

Actually my phpinfo() have Loaded Modules:
core mod_win32 mpm_winnt http_core mod_so mod_access mod_actions mod_alias mod_asis mod_auth mod_autoindex mod_cgi mod_dir mod_env mod_imap mod_include mod_isapi mod_log_config mod_mime mod_negotiation mod_rewrite mod_setenvif mod_userdir mod_php5

i has mod_rewrite loaded! but still not work?
any solution?

another questions:
1. should i put my .htaccess in parent folder eg: www??
2. if i indexing the folder, htaccess ahow like this "htaccess.htaccess ", its correct? not .htaccess?
3. there is another thing that i should configure in my conf, because WAMP already AllowOverride all, load mod_rewrite.

sorry if make you all more confuse, need advice

If you already have mod_rewrite enabled then dont put RewriteEngine on in your .htaccess.

Simply add the rules and that should work.

We have something like following in our .htaccess to redirect any parked domains to our main domain :-

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www.teamgrowth.net [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.teamgrowth.net/$1 [R=301,L]


You will need to remove RewriteEngine on in this case.
