You must enable mod_rewrite before you can use it. If you want to enable it in httpd.conf, then use
Options FollowSymLinks Fileinfo
or
Options SymLinksIfOwnerMatch Fileinfo
If you wish to enable mod_rewrite at the .htaccess level (i.e. only in certain (sub)directories within each vHost and not for all (sub)directories of each vHost), then you must set allowOverride Options (at a minimum) in httpd.conf, and place one of
Options +FollowSymLinks
or
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
in the .htaccess file(s) to enable mod_rewrite.

The problem is that the developers miss something very important in most cases. Next time you download scripts, those should run if you follow this instruction I am going to tell you.
