    You should be contacting your hosting provider for more information, as they would have first hand knowledge of what they have installed and running.

    Seems that mod_rewrite is disabled.
    If you have shell access to the server try to use the following statement to see if mod_rewrite is enabled:
    httpd -l|grep mod_rewrite

    It can be enabled via httpd.conf
