Siento no responderte en ingles pero no soy muy bueno con los idiomas.

Para permitir el uso de los .htaccess debes acceder al archivo "/etc/apache2/apache2.conf" y buscar la linea "", dentro de esa directiva cambiar "AllowOverride None" a "AllowOverride All" y despues reiniciar apache con "sudo service apache2 restart".

Y para activar el modulo rewrite de apache debes ejecutar el comando "a2enmod rewrite" y volver a reiniciar apache con "sudo service apache2 restart".
