Resolved .htaccess not working within sub domain

[RicardoF1RST]

Hi, any ideas much appreciated.
I have created a new sub domain, copied my files into it (including my normal .htaccess) and stuck a die("Hello Work"); at the top of my index.php. This works fine when directly addressed but if I stick anything else in rather than my index.php catching it, I get a 404 error as though the .htaccess isn't being used. Its the same .htaccess as I use in my other sub domain and that works fine. I have tried sticking some garbage at the top of the .htaccess in question, and I don't get a 500 error, just the same page not found which again indicates Apache isn't using the .htaccess. What am I missing!?

Is "Proxy Mode" enabled in the Apache & Nginx Settings? Else .htaccess is not interpreted.

I thought I had triple checked all settings. Correctamundo, Proxy Mode was disabled - many thanks for getting me to look again - only lost a day :-D
