The Rewrite directives need to go within a Directory block within the appropriate VirtualHost: <Directory /foo/bar> RewriteEngine on RewriteRule ^(.*)/section$ /new_location/new_file.htm </Directory> As I understand it you have to do this for every VirtualHost, as Rewrite directives aren't inherited. Well, at least RewriteEngine isn't, according to the Apache manual. If someone knows better I'd be keen to hear, as there are some rewrite directives it would be useful to apply globaly. This is for Apache 1.3 by the way.
