PHP URL ReWrites - .htaccess & MAMP

I have been playing around with this for ages, and just can't seem to get it to work - I don't know if it's an issue with .htaccess, or the fact that I'm using MAMP @ localhost:8888.

I'm trying to clean up my URLS from;

localhost:8888/profile.php?user=testuser

to

localhost:8888/testuser (localhost:8888 will be replaced by my TLD once live).

The code I'm trying to use in my .htaccess is;

RewriteEngine On
ReWriteRule ^([a-z]+)$ profile.php?user=$1

(I've also tried adding http:/localhost:8888/ before the ^)

I am getting a 404

Can anyone help, as this is driving me nuts!

It seems you are missing the /. Your ModRewrite does not recognize it by default. So your Browser is trying to find the folder "testuser" within your root directory.

Please have a look in here:

Edit:

Try this: 

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ /profile.php?user=$1
