You haven't loaded mod_rewrite, so Apache doesn't know what the RewriteEngine line means.

On ubuntu you can probably do (as a super user):

a2enmod rewrite
apache2ctl restart

Otherwise you'll have to edit the apache config and add a line like this to load the module

LoadModule rewrite_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_rewrite.so

The path on your system may be different.
