[Apache] mod_rewrite

Having some trouble with this shit, and it's starting to piss me off.

Code:

---

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/download
RewriteRule ^/download/(.*)$ /download.php?file=$1
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /index.php?dir=$1 [L]

---

Any ideas on how to make it work?

Are you using xampp?

Oh and btw, whats ur problem ? xD

I'm not using XAMPP, and the problem is that it doesn't work.

Update:

Code:

---

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-_/\\:]+)?$ /index.php?dir=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^download/(.*)?$ /dl.php?file=$1

---

Sort-of works, need the index rewrite to include all visible characters.

mod_rewrite module enabled ?

Obviously...
