Was it working before, and now it just don't want to light anymore? Are you getting gas in your other gas appliances??

Make sure the gas line is turned on.. and also on the gas valve, make sure it's set to "ON".

Also, can you hear a click on the gas valve as it trying to open to let the gas in?

Do you have a meter? If you do, you should read 24 volts.. If you are getting 24volts AC to the gas valve, then you need a new valve.
