First off, I told you wrong. The correct file is:

/etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default

not:

/etc/apache2/sites-available/default

My apologies for that mistake.

You will need to load the rewrite_mod for apache:

sudo a2enmod rewrite

You also need to change AllowOverride from None to All in the first 2 directory blocks.

A better example for this is here:

Here is an example of /etc/apache2/sites-available/000-default using a rewrite for phpmyadmin.

If you do not use the default conf change to the conf you created for your main site.

NameVirtualHost xxx.xxx.x.xxx:80
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.x.xx:80>

ServerName mysite.com
ServerAlias www.mysite.com
ServerAdmin webmaster@mysite.com

DocumentRoot /var/www/mysite/

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>

<Directory /var/www/mysite/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
allow from all
# This directive allows us to have apache2's default start page
# in /apache2-default/, but still have / go to the right place
# RedirectMatch ^/$ /apache2-default/
</Directory>

ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
<Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
AllowOverride None
Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>

ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log

# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error,crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn

CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined

Alias /doc/ "/usr/share/doc/"
<Directory "/usr/share/doc/">
Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.0/255.0.0.0 ::1/128
</Directory>


<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
<Location /phpmyadmin>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://mysite.com/php_redirect [R]

</Location>
</IfModule>
</IfModule>

</VirtualHost>

Just a note, I came across this in the Squirrelmail configuration.

Let me know if this helped.
