  My ubuntu host requires me to use the following rewrite rule;

  RewriteRule ^wp-content/(.*)$ /srv/www/wp-content/%{HTTP_HOST}/$DB

  I am trying to install BuddyPress and it requires me to use the rewrite rule;

  <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteBase /
  RewriteRule ^index.php$ – [L]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
  </IfModule>

  I have tried putting both rewrite rules in my htaccess file and I get 404 errors. I don’t know the syntax of whatever language the rewrite engine is using, can anyone suggest a rule that incorporates both of these?

  So it turned out to just be that AllowOverride was set to None. One thing to watch out for in Ubuntu is that there are many different configuration files. I changed AllowOverride to All for a few of the configuration files, but there was another, I think it was apache2.conf, that was still there and had /srv/www/ which is where my content is set to AllowOverride None.
