was not found on this server.

Is this a mod_rewrite issue? mod_rewrite is listed in the ‘loaded modules’ section of my phpinfo. Do I need to do something else to enable it?

Thanks

UPDATE:

<Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

  1. Changed my httpd.conf from 

    <Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
</Directory>

    To 

    <Directory />
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride All
</Directory>

    And it works.

  2. Follow symlinks needs to be turned on in MAMP.

    Open your httpd.conf file in /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/
    Look for <Directory />
    Make sure that you have the following Options set:

    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    You can also setup a local virtual host for better testing of your WordPress site. It’s beyond the scope of this question/topic, but if you’d like I can create an example config file and instructions on how to do that.
