      That might be because you are not on a live domain and .htaccess don't work then.


      Can't you do the hostsfile trick?

      are you working in FTP into a map like mysitename.com ?
      you can add this line (below here) in your hostfile and will be able to see how the website looks like and I think it has to work then.

      PC / Windows > system32 / drivers / etc / hosts


      Add this line: (add the ip of your server)
