Unless its a fairly old oven it does not have a pilot light. Instead it propably uses an igniter device. These will glow when oven is turned on but that does not mean there working.They have to draw at least 3amps before they will switch on the gas valve. Call for Service.

If you're sure you have a standing pilot to be lit, then yes, get either a fireplace match or one of the butane grill lighters and hold it near the pilot assy, in the rear of the broiler area. You shouldn't have to do anything to the oven control to get the pilot to light. If there's a cage like apparatus back there though, you most likely have a glo igniter type system. If that's the case and it doesn't glo when you try to turn on the oven, then it's probably cracked and needs to be replaced. They range in price from $28 - $85, depending on your make and model.

in case you have a pilot easy it extremely is down the place the broiler drawer is , pull it open and do away with the broiler pan , turn off the oven by utilising the way , as quickly as the fumes have cleared then on the decrease back interior the middle approximately 3/4 the previously on the perfect you will see a small tube that at last ends up interior the pilot burner tip easy this with a tournament or lighter it extremely is going to likely be a small flame as quickly because it lights fixtures it extremely is going to burn for some sec's then it extremely is going to be okay to take place the oven the pilot gets larger a pair of million inch then as quickly as that flame is regularly occurring the huge burner will ignite , some situations somewhat airborne dirt and dust gets on the pilot nossle witch could afect the pilot , it extremely is typically wiped sparkling with a Q tip

first check its not a self ignitor, they usually have a battery fitted either in the base or behind the back, if you cannot find one ,then check to see if the its a piezo switch turn your knob to the pilot setting and either press a small button by the side of the knob or press the knob itself,failing that turn on the gas to the lowest setting
and apply a taper (lit) to the gas jet ,i light the taper first before turning on the gas, if you dont you run the risk of igniting your eyebrows if youre not quicl enough personally i would get the cooker checked out regards LF

look in the bottom of the oven at the back and you will see the pilot assembly,hold a lit match there and push in the oven knob,it should light then.
