MAMP.app & .htaccess – Can’t override after config

Are you sure your default <Directory /> settings aren’t getting overridden somewhere else?

I have mine directly in the vhost and .htaccess and rewrite rules work fine.

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName wp.project
    DocumentRoot "/Users/chris/Sites/wp.project"

    <Directory "/Users/chris/Sites/wp.project">
        Options Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks  
        AllowOverride All
        Order allow,deny
        Allow from all
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
