how does one go about making mod_rewrite actually work? I have the module installed and running, as well as the appropriate stuff in the .htaccess file but still no luck.

First make sure you have
LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so in your httpd.conf file.
Also AllowOverride needs to be set to All (there are two instances in the httpd file).

The default compile of apache doesn't come with this module so you may need to recompile apache. I'd recommend:
./configure –enable-mods-shared=most
That will give you most stuff. Although fedora may have the module.

you'll need to hard link the to style. So

/style.css not just style.css
