title: URL Rewriting doesn't seem to work. Apache2
body: <p>I would like it so that when the user goes to
  <code>http://mysite.com/home</code> that it redirects him to <code>http://mysite.com/page.php?id=home</code>. This is what I put in my .htaccess, but it doesn't seem to work. </p>
  
  <pre><code>RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/(.+)$ page.php?id=$1 [NC,L]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It just sends me to the /home directory, with a nice 404. Help is appreciated. Thanks.</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>I've tried some rewrite I know work, so now I'm certain it's not that my problem. I checked with <code>phpinfo()</code> and yes, mod rewrite is running, I set up apache2 with LAMP, I'm running the latest version of Linux Mint.</p>
