If your .htaccess file is ok and the problem persist try to make the AllowOverride directive enabled in your httpd.conf. If the AllowOverride directive is set to None in your Apache httpd.config file, then .htaccess files are completely ignored. Example of enabled AllowOverride directive in httpd.config:

 
    Options FollowSymLinks
    **AllowOverride All**
 

Therefor restart your server.
