First off.... Are you sure you are turning the gas valve control in the right direction? Have you waited the 3 minutes before relighting after an extinguished pilot?
Otherwise you will need a registered Gas fitter to take a look; possible faults are thermocouple, overheat thermostat or in rare instances; the gas valve itself.
