title: htaccess for clean urls not being read by apache?
body: <p>I'm getting kinda crazy over here because I already wasted two hours getting my clean URLs enabled for the laravel framework.</p>
  
  <p>I'm on a Mac and have a XAMPP setup. The Loadmodule mod_rewrite is commented out and php_info() says mod_rewrite module is loaded.</p>
  
  <p>My .htaccess file in the public folder of the laravel framework contains the code for cleans URLs (as stated on their website) but still, when I surf domain.com/account it gives me a 404. </p>
  
  <p>The laravel framework folder runs as a virtual host.</p>
  
  <p>What could it be, that is going wrong?!</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;IfModule mod_rewrite.c&gt;
       RewriteEngine on
  
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
       RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  
       RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
  &lt;/IfModule&gt;
  </code></pre>
