Hey, Magesh.

You need to load the mod_rewrite module, in your httpd (config file).

Open said file, and locate the line that looks like this:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
  2.  
Remove the hash / pound sign from the beginning of the line, and restart your server.

Let us know if this solves it.
