title: trying to set friendly URL
body: <p>I'm trying to configure a friendly URL system for my website and due to i'm new in these tools, I was testing at the first time on my client localhost.</p>
  
  <p>The fact is I want to convert this URL: 
  <a href="http://laventanaindiscretadiego.url.ph/page/index.inc.php?lang=en_EN" rel="nofollow">http://laventanaindiscretadiego.url.ph/page/index.inc.php?lang=en_EN</a>
  into this other one
  <a href="http://laventanaindiscretadiego.com/main" rel="nofollow">http://laventanaindiscretadiego.com/main</a></p>
  
  <p>For that i'm using a .htaccess file and i'm using RewriteRule as i show here</p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteRule ^/laventana/page/main$ /laventana/page/index.inc.php?lang=$1
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>after I apply changes on my .htaccess and i save everything, nothing happens and the url is not rewrited.</p>
  
  <p>As an extra information, httpd.conf was already eddited removing the coment for the next lane: </p>
  
  <pre><code>LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also checked that AllowOverride was in the option All as you can see:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Directory /&gt;
      Options FollowSymLinks
      AllowOverride All
      Order deny,allow
      Deny from all
  &lt;/Directory&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I also checked that the document root was the correct, in my case: </p>
  
  <pre><code>DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The last thing i could say about, it's that the .htaccess document is in the root folder (htdocs) so it makes sense and i've tested it before with a simple redirection like in this example</p>
  
  <pre><code>Redirect /laventana/page/index.inc.php?lang=$1 http://www.disney.com
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The redirect is stupid but i wanted to test the .htaccess was working.</p>
  
  <p>Have anybody any clue of what is happening me and/or if I have any mistake?</p>
  
  <p>Thank you!</p>
