I'm trying to activate mod rewrite on apache 2.2 running on windows xp as a windows service.

I uncommented the "LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so" line on the configuration file. I can't find the "AddModule mod_rewrite.c" and if I add it to the file, the server fails to start.
I tryed to override the accessfile name to remove the dot from the name (.htaccess -> htaccess) thrue "AccessFileName htaccess".
I configured the Directory options with:

<Directory />
 Options Indexes MultiViews
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

even with qualified path just to be shure:

<Directory "C:/Programas/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs">
 Options Indexes MultiViews
 AllowOverride All
 Order allow,deny
 Allow from all
</Directory>

My test is simple, but it just won't work. Yhis is my
.htaccess:

rewriteEngine on
rewriteRule ^/test\.html$ /works.html

I have the works.html on the root folder. When I hit the test.html on the browser I get the error:

[Sat May 10 16:01:28 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/Programas/Apache Software Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/test.html

Does anyone have a hint for me? I'm running out of options..

thanks in advance
