Welcome to WebmasterWorld haidroid!

This may be caused by your host using AllowOverride or AllowOverrideList in their central Apache configuration. Depending on the parameters used, these statements may cause Apache to ignore some or all of the contents of .htaccess files.

lammert, Thanks

Do you have other directives in your .htaccess file? (If so, what?)

Remove the <IfModule> wrapper - do you get an error?

@haidroid ... Welcome to Webmasterworld!

If you have support with your host you might try asking them.
