I’m not sure if this helps but its good practice, include the BEGIN and END WordPress comments around your rules as well as the check for mod_rewrite:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
Also:
- Do not apply these rules until you have chosen and saved permalinks in the admin area, only once you have done this should you setup the .htaccess file
- The Comments are used by plugins to allow rewriting of the htaccess file without messing up the core wordpress rules
- Make sure your rewrite base is set correctly
