.htaccess file not redirecting anymore. Possible reasons?

It's not just the RewriteRule, it's a package of stuff that you enable with 'RewriteEngine on'. It's the mod_rewrite apache module.

A quick google says this php might display apache modules:

Code:

if (function_exists('apache_get_modules')) {
  $modules = apache_get_modules();
  $mod_rewrite = in_array('mod_rewrite', $modules);
} else {
  $mod_rewrite =  getenv('HTTP_MOD_REWRITE')=='On' ? true : false ;
}

Probably a buncha ways, but it is the 'mod_rewrite' module for sure.
