title: It seems the mode rewrite in .htaccess apache is not working
body: <p>I am trying to run <a href="http://code.google.com/p/ijab/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">iJab</a> with Openfire server which requires me to redirect the /http-bind request to localhost:7070/http-bind. 
  I copied the  iJAb folder into my document root and wrote the following code inside .htaccess file within the directory</p>
  
  <pre><code>    AddDefaultCharset UTF-8
      Options +FollowSymLinks
      Options +Indexes
      Options +MultiViews
      RewriteEngine On
      RewriteRule /http-bind/ http://localhost:7070/http-bind/ [P]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>In httpd.conf , its  AllowOverride all</p>
  
  <p>But when I run it, it gives error .. username or password error but firebug console shows  404 error on the ajax post request to <pre><a href="http://localhost/http-bind" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://localhost/http-bind</a></pre>. So i have a doubt if its being redirected at all. Is there any way to check if htaccess is actually used or not?</p>
  
  <p>Also, I am not using any virtual host, the server name for both apache server and the openfire server is localhost and address is 127.0.0.1. I let that be since the openfire admin works perfectly on 9090 port and the port for http-bind is 7070</p>
  
  <p>Can this be the reason?</p>
  
  <p>Looking for some ideas</p>
