mod_rewrite not working at all!!!!!

[Thratchen]

HI
I'm trying to get mod_redirect work on my linux/FC3 but I'm having no luck.

Ive tried it on domains and subdomains with the same results.


For instance Ive checked the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

and found the loadmodule in the correct place

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

then I've checked that the /etc/httpd/modules/mod_rewrite.so exists.
(Ive also tried deleting mod_rewrite.so and restarting the webserver, just to see if it complains. Which it does )


After that Ive added the following to /home/httpd/vhosts/DOMAIN-NAME.com/conf/vhost.conf

<Directory /home/httpd/vhosts/DOMAIN-NAME.com/httpdocs/>
        RewriteEngine on
        RewriteBase /
        RewriteRule ^/player/(.*)/$ /player.php?ID=$1
</Directory>

then regenerated the config files by running

/usr/local/psa/admin/bin/websrvmng -a -r

after this i am expecting

http://DOMAIN-NAME.com/player/2/

to take me to
http://DOMAIN-NAME.com/player.php?ID=2


but it doesnt work and all I get is a 404.


can anyone help?
Are there any config options that would stop modrewrite working?
