Backbone.js router using pushstate with XAMPP apache server on localhost
===

I'm trying to get backbone.js's router to work with my XAMPP apache server on localhost.

I need to prevent apache from evaluating the directory paths that are supposed to go to the router and just forward everything to `/test_backbone/index.html`. I've tried everything that I could find, nothing works.

Currently, I have this in httpd.conf file:

    # html5 pushstate (history) support:
    <ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
      Options +FollowSymLinks
      IndexIgnore */*
      # Turn on the RewriteEngine
      RewriteEngine On
      #  Rules
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
      RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
      RewriteRule (.*) /test_backbone/index.html
    </ifModule>

I've also tried this:

    # html5 pushstate (history) support:
    <ifModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !index
        RewriteRule (.*) index.html [L]
    </ifModule>

I was under the impression that some of those lines are supposed to say to load the static file if it exists, but none of my javascript files are being loaded, everything just goes back to `/test_backbone/index.html`

I've also tried `.htaccess` files. For all I know I'm not even putting this code in the right place.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
