.htaccess files arent processed by default Apache server

Im trying to use .htaccess files to rewrite URLs on my iMac's webserver. However, the server does not seem to see these files, and completely ignores anything I write in them. Following advice in two other (old) threads here, (http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=17141 & http://www.macosx.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13748 ) and the Apache Tutorials website (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/htaccess.html#troubleshoot), I've set AllowOverride to All and AuthConfig, neither have any effect. Ive also tried filling a .htaccess file with random letters. No server error was produced, and nothing has been entered into my error log file.

Im using Mac OS X.2.8, and whatever Apache build comes with it (1.3, i think)

If anyone has any other ideas on what I might have missed or done wrong, Id love to hear them, and thanks in advance!
