.htaccess Mod Rewrite 'pretty ur'l to actual doesn't work

I'm trying to get htaccess to rewrite this url :

http://127.0.0.1/papercut3/article/post-title/

to this:

http://127.0.0.1/papercut3/article.php?p=post-title/

My current .htaccess is:

Options +FollowSymLinks  
RewriteEngine On  

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f  

RewriteRule ^article/(\d+)*$ ./article.php?p=$1  
RewriteRule ^section/(\d+)*$ ./section.php?s=$1

And my urls written in the code:

http://127.0.0.1/papercut3/article/execution-call-for-cinema-killer/

My problem is that when I click the link I get this:

Not Found

The requested URL /papercut3/article/syria-suffers-deadliest-month/ was not found on this server.

I'm using WAMP, the .htaccess is in the root of the /papercut3 directory with all the core files. Any help would be greatly appreciated!:)

If you can use .htaccess files, you want it to look like:

Options +FollowSymLinks  
RewriteEngine On  

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d  
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f  

RewriteRule ^article/(.+)$ ./article.php?p=$1  
RewriteRule ^section/(.+)$ ./section.php?s=$1

Or, you can be slightly more specific with what is allowed, but the one in your question only allows character [0-9], this way it opens it up and let's the respective PHP files do the checking/error-handling.

You may find help in the log file of apache, but I think this is related to AllowOverride directive, which must be set to None.

As said in the documentation, you need AllowOverride to contain at least FileInfo.

Edit: By the way, your rule won't match any of your url since you expect a int \d but don't provide any in input.
