    Why doesn't this work?

    RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)$ profile.php?name=$1

    I want /profile.php?name=Schart to go to /Schart.

    You need to ensure the RewriteEngine is on
    You also need mod_rewrite enabled in your Apache config

    Try this
    Options +FollowSymLinks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteRule ^/([^/]+)$ profile.php?name=$1
