Change this:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of #
features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
To this:
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of #
features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
That tells apache to process the .htaccess file. I don't know if it will
make any difference. Your .htaccess file is being processed, as evident by
the output logs. It could be that the file was being processed, but Apache
wasn't actually reading the output since overrides was denied.
I noticed you have it further down in the config file, but it could actually
be that having it in there twice is screwing with apache.
Another quick test you can do is make a short and easy plugin that dumps the
rewrite array. Just make a quick text/php file with this in it:
<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Dump Permalink Structure
Plugin URI:
Version:
Description:
Author:
Author URI:
*/
add_filter("rewrite_rules_array", keywords_createRewriteRules,10);
function keywords_createRewriteRules($rewrite) {
echo "<pre>";
print_r($rewrite);
echo "</pre>";
return $rewrite
}
?>
Then upload it to your plugins and activate it. It will dump the rewrite
array on the top of every page, so you don't want to keep it activated long.
Try getting rid of the /index.php/ in your rewrite rules then reload the
page and make sure that the /index.php/ is gone from the beginning of the
rewrites. If it isn't then you got a query cache that is throwing the monkey
wrench in everything.

Thanks for your attention and energy on this problem.
So, it seems that permalinks are actually working (even though they
don't) -- so that's not the problem.
I wonder if it might be something in my httpd.conf... Here's the lines I
think may be relevant... Can you take a look at them to verify that I've
got things correctly configured? Thanks!
DocumentRoot "/var/www/html"
# First, we configure the "default" to be a very restrictive set of
# features.
#
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
# Note that from this point forward you must specifically ALLOW
# particular features to be enabled - so if something's not working as
# you might expect, make sure that you have specifically enabled it
# below.
#
<Directory "/var/www/html/cgi-bin">
Options ExecCGI Includes
AddHandler cgi-script .cgi .pl
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
<Directory "/var/www/html/gallery2">
AllowOverride Options FileInfo
</Directory>
# This should be changed to whatever you set DocumentRoot to.
#
<Directory "/var/www/html">
# Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
# or any combination of:
# Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatch ExecCGI
Multiviews
#
# Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
# doesn't give it to you.
#
# The Options directive is both complicated and important. Please see
# http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/mod/core.html#options
# for more information.
#
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
# AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess
files.
# It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
# Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
#
AllowOverride All
AcceptPathInfo On
# Controls who can get stuff from this server.
#
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
#
# Disable autoindex for the root directory, and present a
# default Welcome page if no other index page is present.
