Getting MAMPStack to work with a .htaccess file

I have MAMPstack 5.4.9 installed on my mac and am not able to my .htaccess file to work. I am trying to do the simplest test to check and make sure it is working and it seems to be ignoring the file. When I first creating the access file, my Mac did warn me indicating any file that starts with a ( . ) would be hidden, I am assuming that is just hidden in the finder so I cannot view it, the file should still exist to the programs installed.

In my root directory I have 3 files setup, test.html, test.php, and my .htaccess file. I am simply trying to test the .htaccess file by redirecting the test.html to test.php. Instead of redirecting it just loads the test.html page with no changes to the URL.

My https.conf file

#LoadModule userdir_module modules/mod_userdir.so LoadModule alias_module modules/mod_alias.so LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so LoadModule php5_module modules/libphp5.so

<Directory "/Applications/MampStack.app/Contents/Resources/app/apache2/cgi-bin"> AllowOverride All Options Indexes FollowSymLinks </Directory>

My .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^/?test.html$ test.php [L]
