I'm trying to configure Apache so that I can use mod_rewrite. I
uncommented these lines in httpd.conf:

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
AddModule mod_rewrite.c

Then I added the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^page([^/]*)\.html$ /test.php?filename=page&pageid=$1
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)\.html$ /test.php?filename=$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Should I expect "index.html" to take me to "test.php?filename=index"?
What am I doing wrong?

In per-server context, the pattern of the RewriteRule (left side) start
with a leading slash. If your filename/id does not include any literal
periods, exclude them from the regular expression for performance issues:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/page([^/.]*)\.html$ /test.php?filename=page&pageid=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^/([^/.]+)\.html$ /test.php?filename=$1 [L]
