I'm pretty new to setting up apache locally with xampp. I'm trying to develop locally with xampp (Ubuntu 11.04) linux 1.7.4 for a Drupal Site.

I've actually git pulled an exact copy of this drupal site from another testing server hosted at MediaTemple.

Issue

I'll visit my local development environment virtualhost (http://bbk.loc) and the front page renders correctly with no errors from drupal or apache. The issue is the subsequent pages don't return an "Object not found" Error from apache. What is more bizarre is when I add various query strings and the pages are found (like http://bbk.loc?p=user).

VHost file

NameVirtualHost bbk.loc:*

<Directory "/home/chris/workspace/bbk/html">
        Options Indexes Includes execCGI
        AllowOverride None
        Order Allow,Deny
        Allow From All
</Directory>
<VirtualHost bbk.loc>
    DocumentRoot /home/chris/workspace/bbk/html
    ServerName bbk.loc
    ErrorLog logs/bbk.error
</VirtualHost>

BBK.error Error Log File:

Actions I've taken:

• Move Rewrite module loading to load before cache module http://drupal.org/node/43545
• Verify modrewrite works with .htaccess file

Any ideas why mod_rewrite might not be working?
