[RESOLVED] .htaccess mod_rewrite not working

[bpat1434]

Okay, so I am trying to use a simple tilde redirect and it won't work. here's my re-write rule:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/~([a-z0-9]+)(.*)$ /.archives/$1/www$2

Easy enough right? All it should do is:
http://www.example.com/~site1 should change to http://www.example.com/.archives/site1/www(/xxx (if needed))

It's not working. Mod_rewrite is enabled as per the phpinfo() output says. Anyone know where I might be going wrong? Thanks for the help.

What is your AllowOverrides setting? Not having this set properly would mean your .htaccess file is never processed

Well, I ended up figuring it out. It wasn't the allow overrides, it was actually in my pattern & replacement. I got it working now. Thanks.
