    Check if the directory where your .htaccess lives in has enabled the neccessary AllowOverride (enabled must be: AuthConfig and Options at least) in the httpd.conf.

    Make sure it is not within the 

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
...
</IfModule>

    part of your .htaccess

    Usually you should have a logging-message in your error-log. I assume, that you will find something like this:

    [alert] [client 192.xxx.xxx.xxx] /path/to/web/.htaccess: Options not allowed here

    This solution does not always help (depending on the apache-version you are using): In some cases you have to move this section to your httpd.conf to make it work.

    It is explained in detail in the apache-docs.
