Yes, sorry.

May be a matter of AllowOverride? DocumentRoot and the configured path
for <directory> settings are not necessarily the same; if you
configure document root /var/www/sub to have AllowOverride FileInfo
for <Directoty /var/www>, mod_rewrite should process the rules.
But that was just an example.
