Have a look at your httpd.conf?
I added the block below:
<Directory "/home/.sites/">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes MultiViews
AllowOverride All
</Directory>
After the default setting of:
<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
</Directory>
Not sure how much of a security risk it is enabling the options and the
overrides but I do have redirects working.
