rewrite

I'm trying to rewrite my URL's subdomain.

http://username.domain.com will show content of http://www.domain.com/user.php?u=username but URL stay as http://username.domain.com . (I mean url masking)

(Username's can contain a-z 0-9 and hypens) Also if subdomain is www or api, don't redirect them

I'm using this for my .htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.domain\.com
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

(After @mfarver's advice) I'm trying this

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule .* /user.php?u=%1 [L]

but this time getting 500 Internal Server error:

[Mon May 30 20:10:44 2011] [alert] [client 81.6.xx.xxx] /home/blablabla/public_html/.htaccess: AllowOverride not allowed here

(from error log)

My server's httpd.conf file's virtualhost settings

</VirtualHost>

Also *.DOMAIN.net added to my DNS ZONES as A record.
