Sounds like to that the Allow Override directive is still set to NONE for your VHOST
By default this is disabled, so even if you enable mod_rewrite via sudo a2enmod rewrite
your .htaccess will be ignored.
You’ll want to login to your server (via Terminal / shell) and then …
sudo nano /etc/apache2/sites-available/default
look through the file for:
<Directory /var/www/>
AllowOverride None
Options MultiViews FollowSymlinks
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
Header Set Cache-Control no-cache
</Directory>
Change the AllowOverride to ALL
Ctrl+x and save the file
then
sudo apache restart
or sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
see also http://drupal.org/node/134439
Let me know if the Allow Override was off please?
