redirect configuration

Hi,

i have redirected using the following code.

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*).htm
RewriteRule ^(.*).htm http://www.mysite.com/test/test.php?ho=$1 [L]

My requirement is to display test.php?ho=hi.htm as hi.htm . it displays properly on my site. but not on my localhost, how do i configure it? in my apache.

 

previously i used to work when i was using XAMP, now i have configured Apache2.2 on my machine and displays the URL as it is on the address bar.
