This question is not specific enough for a good answer. What is the appliance? A furnace? A cooktop burner? An oven?
The first thing to check would be the igniter, which is what typically "lights" the gas coming from the valve.
You can check an igniter with a simple continuity test using a test meter.
If the pilot is lit, then there is no igniter, or the igniter lites the pilot, so if the pilot
is lit how could it be the igniter.
Bad thermocouple, this tells the gas valve that the pilot light is lit, if the gas valve does not know the pilot is lit it will not allow gas to come out of the valve, this is a safety feature so your unit does not blow up.

Why won't pool heater light when the pilot is on?
You may have a faulty thermostat that isn't closing when heat is called for. Also a faulty gas valve could be the problem. Also, be sure that the gas valve isn't in the "Pilot" position. This is the position you turn the gas valve to when lighting thepilot light. If your pilot light isn't staying on after being lit, then you may have a bad thermocouple.
Why would a Teledyne Laars heater thermostat allow you to light pilot light but not allow you to turn it on?
Have you rotated the gas valve knob to "run". Have you turned up the thermostat? Is the pump running? No pump water flow - no heat -- no filtration. Is the filter clean? When was the last time you cleaned the filter? Ken

Turn knob to PILOT, press button down and light the pilot; hold button down for 60 seconds and release - pilot should remain lit; turn knob to ON. If pilot does not remain lit, turn knob to OFF, wait 5 minutes and try again, If pilot still will not remain lit, replace the thermocoupler.

How do you relight the pilot light?
If you have an automatic lighter connected to the thermostat follow these directions: - Turn the on/off/pilot valve to 'pilot' - Hold the button on top of the controls down completely. This is the thermocoupler button. - While keeping the thermocoupler button pressed down push the automatic lighter button until the pilot light lites. You can see it lit through the viewing glass. - Keep holding the thermocoupler button down for a minute after the pilot light is lit. - If it does not stay lit then your thermocoupler is probably bad and needs to be replaced

Where is the furnace located to light pilot light?
It could be different for every house.A side note: I'm taking that you mean where is the pilot light located in side your furnace? Depending on the of your furnace it's very possible your furnace does not have a pilot light, in fact it may have an ignition system with a flame management sensor. Try this; turn off the system with the main electrical cutoff switch, wait for about 2 minuets, turn on the switch raise the temperature of the thermostat high enough for the furnace to come on, this should work if it does not try one more time. If that fails call a HVAC & R technician.
