Clean URLs on Mac OS X 10.5

I'm hoping someone can help me with this, it has to be something simple I'm missing.
So my issue is I can't get Clean URLs working on my local workstation running Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard). I've done all the things I can think of:
- Made sure I've uncommented the appropriate lines in .htaccess
- Changed AllowOverride --> All in httpd.conf
- Restarted httpd
Yet still I get "Not Found" when running the clean url test.
Am I missing something Leopard is doing differently? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,

Try MAMP
works like a charm http://www.mamp.info/en/mamp.html. I like it better because I can quickly setup and change between root directories - not that you can't editing httpd.conf
Check to see if you really copied the htaccess - if you copy via the Finder you will miss it
Is everything else
Is everything else functioning normally in Apache2? Since you've gotten this far there's no sense in stopping now. Wish I had more advice for you, but since you've come this far you clearly know your way around a little better than I do.
If you go to your status report does the GD2 library for PHP say that it is enabled? Just curious.
Thanks for the replies. I
Thanks for the replies. I just figured it out.
It turns out in OS X 10.5 the default apache server configuration exists in /etc/apache2. In OS X 10.4 the configuration exists /etc/httpd. What threw me off was the /etc/httpd directory still exists in 10.5, so basically I was editing the wrong httpd.conf file. Once I discovered /etc/apache2/httpd.conf and modified it it started working.
Dang it, well hopefully this post will save someone else some time.
