.htaccess doesn't want to work

Question

PHP

Stuck in 3 pines :(
there is a simple .htaccess copied from my other working project.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* index.php
and doesn’t want to!!!
directly “localhost/index.php” - does it work
where I screwed up?

And yes, I already restarted Apache 100 times ...

Look at the AllowOverride setting in httpd.conf. It is disabled by default in most cases. In order for it to work, you need to enable it.
