Rewrite Rules

Question for Randy, under the Introducing Rewrite Rules in Cleaning URLs with Rewrite Rules. I'm having trouble using the .htaccess file. My .htaccess file contains

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^shirts/$ /shirts/shirts.php

The following error shows when I access my http://localhost/Teamtreehouse/Php/Testing/shirts/ directory in wamp
