You may need a new thermocouple. This is the small tube in the pilot flame. It must get hot to open the gas flow. They are easy to change, just use a small wrench and unscrew the nut at the end of the flexible tube and screw in a new one. Make sure the tube end is positioned in the pilot flame.
I'm having the same problem with a Suburban oven. I can light the pilot but the burner never comes on. If I hold the B-BQ-lighter under the thermocouple the burner will come on. I wish someone could post a photo of one that works. My thermocouple is beneath the pilot, I don't see how that ever worked. We don't use the oven that much but last trip it would not lite so I figured I'd fix it. Yeah right...:R
