RewriteEngine not working in (my) apache2

[Kaj Wiik <kaj.wiik@iki.fi>]

Hi!

This (testing) redirection does not seem to be working (in
apache2.conf):

    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteLogLevel 9
    RewriteLog /tmp/rewrite.log
    RewriteRule ^/foo(.*) /test/foo.html 

(so e.g. if page /foop is requested, /test/foo.html should be returned)

I installed apache2 (sarge), sudo a2enmod rewrite, sudo apache2ctl
graceful, nothing gets printed in rewrite.log (it is created though).

error.log:
[Thu Sep 28 16:19:40 2006] [error] [client xxxxxxxx] File does not
exist: /var/www/foop

Any clues?

Thanks,

Kaj
