Ok, found the solution,

<Directory /path/to/site>
     #add the following setting to allow .htaccess in your web dir to work
     AllowOverride All

     #other settings ---

</Directory>

and thats in the /etc/apache2/apache2.conf file

be sure to add mod_rewrite and restart apache after that

sudo a2enmod rewrite

sudo service apache2 restart
