REST .htaccess causing a 500

I am trying to set up a REST Server (Restler) in php, it works fine in MAMP

But as soon as I put it on my live server with Cent OS 6.2, it gives me a 500 error. What things would cause this ?

Here is the htaccess:

DirectoryIndex index.php
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteRule ^$ index.php [QSA,L]
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
   php_flag display_errors On
</IfModule>

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

^-- this line seems to be the issue.

I see this in my logs:

[Thu Jun 20 09:13:52 2013] [error] [client 5.64.252.223] Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

Solution

Try changing your .htaccess code to this:

DirectoryIndex index.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
   # Turn mod_rewrite on
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /go/

   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
   RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_php5.c>
   php_flag display_errors On
</IfModule
