The server probably either does not allow htaccess (AllowOverride
None) or mod_rewrite isn't enabled. If you can edit the virtual host
config, add the content of the htaccess file there. Your server will
be speedier if it doesn't have to deal with htaccess, in any case.
DocumentRoot /var/www/vhosts/your_site/app/webroot
<Directory "/var/www/vhosts/your_site/app/webroot">
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
</Directory>
