Hello,
In this short tutorial we will learn how to enable the mod_rewrite module in Apache Server.
Step 1
Locate the folder where apache is installed (in localhost is usually in: C:Program FilesApache Software FoundationApache2.2). Find the folder “conf”. You will find in it the file: httpd.conf.
Step 2
Find the line #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so. Uncomment it so it will look like this:
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
Look for #AddModule mod_rewrite.c and uncomment it as well.
AddModule mod_rewrite.c
In the same file search for:
<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride None </Directory>
and replace it with:
<Directory /> Options FollowSymLinks AllowOverride All </Directory>
You may have many other attributes between the ‘Directory’ tags. Make sure that AllowOverride is set to ‘All’.
Save the new httpd.conf and restart Apache.
Good luck!

Are you sure that you followed all the steps? It should work. What exactly is your problem? Did you create a .htaccess file containing the right data in it?
