I had some similar problems with REDHAT 9.0.
in your httpd.conf file under the Diretory settings
(sorry I do not have my notes on this at this computer)
I think it is AllowOverride None.
As you scroll down through your httpd.conf file you will find the first
instance of the line.
Go passed it until you find the next instance of AllowOverride. This is
the one I changed to get my
.htaccess to work.
I a real beginner at this, but it worked for me.
Hope this helps, if not, maybe an expert on this list can find the problem
for you.
best regards,
Tom
