title: Cannot 301.htaccess redirect in XAMPP
body: <p>A simple working 301 .htaccess redirect on my live server looks like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine on
  
  redirect 301 /test.php /index.php
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I can't make it work my XAMPP installation.
  I have enabled mod_rewrite.so in the http.conf file and I can't see why it does not redirect.  Have restarted apache but no luck.</p>
