.htaccess not working on localhost with XAMPP

by

Just had a similar issue

Resolved it by checking in httpd.conf 

     # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
     # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
     #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
     #
     AllowOverride All   <--- make sure this is not set to "None"

It is worth bearing in mind I tried (from Mark’s answer) the “put garbage in the .htaccess” which did give a server error – but even though it was being read, it wasn’t being acted on due to no overrides allowed.
