OK. I found that they probably are enabled. There are a couple of
lines in httpd.conf
LoadModule env_module modules/mod_env.so
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
so unless someone else speaks up I'll assume for now that is what's required.

I did not edit that file. Actually I found two files in the /var/www directory:
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/data/.htaccess
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/.htaccess
I didn't edit either of them as the Gentoo Wiki said to edit
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf. Is that wrong?
OK, looking in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb/.htaccess I don't see
anything like this code:
<Directory /var/www/html/mythweb>
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
so I am now confused about what I'm supposed to be editing or what the
edit is supposed to look like.
That said I suspect this is the problem. What do you edits look like?
I just tried add that complete code stub to the file but it still
doesn't work?
Thanks,
Mark
