Step one is to contact your hosting company. Insure that Apache is configured to permit/recognize .htaccess files and that mod_alias (redirect directives) and/or mod_rewrite (rewrite directives) are loaded and available for your use.

aye, is that .htaccess doesn't work FULL STOP, ie, never, no directives, nada?

or..

just your redirect code?

my site uses ensim (not that I ever use the panel itself) and .htaccess work fine, in fact they work way better than they should, accepting all sorts of crazy directives, hot-linking redirects among them.

If it's the latter, show us yer code, maybe it's wonked.
