.htaccess file not found

I got my website done by my friend it is up and running in the public server. I tried to run the same website on my internal server. But apache says file not found. I figured out that the problem is in .htaccess file. This is my file

AddType text/x-component .htc
#BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

and in my apache conf file I set 

<VirtualHost *:80>

DocumentRoot /srv/www/
    <Directory />
            Options FollowSymLinks
            AllowOverride All
    </Directory>

    <Directory /srv/www/>
            Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order Deny,Allow
            Deny from all
            Allow from 192.168.43.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.42.0/255.255.255.0
<Directory /srv/www/companies/test1/>
            Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
            AllowOverride All
            Order Allow,Deny
            Deny from all
            Allow from 192.168.43.0/255.255.255.0 192.168.42.0/255.255.255.0
    </Directory>
    </Virtualhost>

error log says

[Fri Apr 11 16:57:33 2014] [error] [client 192.168.43.8] File does not exist:/srv/www/cms
[Fri Apr 11 16:57:33 2014] [error] [client 192.168.43.19] File does not exist:/srv/www/products, referer: http://192.168.43.8/companies/

I guess htaccess is lokking for index.php in /srv/www/ folder instead of /srv/www/companies/test1/ folder. Any suggestion how to direct htaccess in correct location?

the .htaccess file is located in the root folder of your instalation and by default is hidden.

If you are using FileZilla:

  1. Start FileZilla then select the "Server" menu at the top
  2. Select "Force showing Hidden Files"

Assuming you have a cms and product directory in /srv/www/companies/test1/ instead of /src/www/ you could fix the issue by changing your DocumentRoot /srv/www/ to DocumentRoot /srv/www/companies/test1/ and restarting apache.

Generally though, you'd want to set up a custom VirtualHost for each site you are planning on serving and leave the default <VirtualHost *:80> set to whatever should be served by default when you visit your IP address.

See VirtualHost Examples for some examples of common setups.
