Apache .htaccess

Those of you who did not use MAMP or XAMPP but instead manually installed Apache, PHP and MySQL in linux just a heads up. If you created a sub-directory in /var/www (Apache's default root directory) and you are trying to do the RewriteRule add the folder where all the files reside so it looks like ^subfolder/file. Be sure to enable the rewrite mod in apache and place the htaccess file in the /var/www directory in order to get the rewrite to work.
If you are running Ubuntu as your server the below command will enable the rewrite mod and then restart the Apache service.

sudo a2enmod rewrite
sudo service apache2 restart
