WAMP ignoring rewrite rules in .htaccess

Question

I'm having trouble getting mod_rewrite to behave properly on WAMP after upgrading to PHP 7.0.0. All RewriteRules seem to be completely ignored by Apache. They result in 404 errors.

This is my virtual host in httpd-vhosts.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myproject.local
    DocumentRoot "D:/Projects/myproject/www"
    ErrorLog "D:/Projects/myproject/www/apache_errors.log"
    LogLevel info

    <Directory  "D:/Projects/myproject/www/">
        LogLevel debug
        Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

This is my .htaccess, which is recognized by Apache, will handle directives like DirectoryIndex, but seems to ignore any RewriteRules:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_\-\s]+)/?$ $1.php [L,QSA] #root pages
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_\-\s]+)/([a-zA-Z_\-\s]+)/?$ core/modules/$1/$2.php [L,QSA] #pages with no id
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_\-\s]+)/([a-zA-Z_\-\s]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ core/modules/$1/$2.php?$1_id=$3 [L,QSA] #pages with id (edit, etc)

My apache error log shows nothing of consequence: just that request fails:

[Sun Dec 18 15:47:03.787934 2016] [core:info] [pid 12532:tid 1140] [client ::1:57506] AH00128: File does not exist: D:/Projects/StoryTracker-Core/www/test

There must be some outside force I'm not aware of causing these results.

EDIT I've updated my virtual host as follows to no avail:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName myproject.local
    DocumentRoot "d:/projects/myproject/www"
    ErrorLog "d:/projects/myproject/www/apache_errors.log"
    LogLevel trace8

    <Directory  "d:/projects/myproject/www/">
        Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +Includes

        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted

        LogLevel trace8             
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Answer 1

mod_rewrite did not like dashes in my project directory name.

After renaming directories in my project path away from using -, I was able to figure out the rest of the issues from LogLevel debug rewrite:trace8.
