cannot rewrite url

i am new to mod_rewrite.
i loaded mod_rewrite module in my apche config file
but rewrite rules in .htaccess file is not working with my url.
i am testing it in my localhost.
will it work with my localhost?
plz any one help me

 

I'm not sure if it will work on localhost but you can always try it on a single page on your server

 

Are the rewrite rules for localhost or the actual URL? You'd have to test the page using the actual URL, or write the rules for localhost (if you can even do that? not sure). Basically the browser would need to request the same "URL" that you would have in the rewrite rules.

 

yes in the pattern field of the rewrite rule i gave the url of the local host
