Go to httpd conf on  Applications MAMP conf apache and see if the LoadModule rewrite module modules mod rewrite so line is un-commented  without the   at the beginning   and change these  from         lt VirtualHost   80 gt      ServerName         DocumentRoot        lt  VirtualHost gt    To this    lt VirtualHost   80 gt      ServerAdmin         ServerName          DocumentRoot          lt Directory     gt          Options FollowSymLinks         AllowOverride None      lt  Directory gt       lt Directory     gt          Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews         AllowOverride All         Order allow deny         allow from all      lt  Directory gt   lt  VirtualHost gt

If you have MAMP PRO you can set up a host like mysite local  then add some options from the  Advanced  panel in the main window  Just switch on the options  Indexes  and  MultiViews    Includes  and  FollowSymLinks  should already be checked

I m using MAMP  downloaded today  and had this problem also  The issue is with this version of the MAMP stack s default httpd conf directive around line 370  Look at httpd conf down at around line 370 and you will find    lt Directory   Applications MAMP bin mamp  gt      Options Indexes MultiViews     AllowOverride None     Order allow deny     Allow from all  lt  Directory gt    You need to change      AllowOverride None To                      AllowOverride All

The problem I was having with the rewrite is that some  htaccess files for Codeigniter  etc come with  RewriteBase     Which doesn t seem to work in MAMP   at least for me
