Thanks for the suggestion, but I am not sure of the exact meaning of your solution.
Here's what Ii understand:
I checked my /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file and yes it says:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
in the file.
Then I copied the lines you suggest in that file (I placed them right after the ScriptAlias lines)
I restarted the httpd daemon (killall -HUP httpd) and accessed my site. Same page as before. Am I missing a step?
Thanks
