Subject: Dev environment not working

Everything seems to work fine *except* the mod_rewrite stuff in the default .htaccess file. In my error logs (httpd) I just get:

"child pid XXX exit signal Bus error (10)" for every attempt to load a page.

It barfs on these two rules:

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

If I comment them out, the default page loads fine. But I don't know where that leaves me… I have no real knowledge of mod_rewrite or why it would be causing trouble.

mod_rewrite

I'd recommend the fora at Apache Lounge as they have been very helpful for me. http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/

Incidentally, this rule does:

^           match from start of URI
(           start capturing sub pattern
[^.]+       match a number of characters that aren't a full stop
)           end capturing sub pattern
$           match up to end of URI

$1          replace with sub pattern 1
.html       literal

Can't remember what the QSA does - see the rewrite docs for that. Essentially this takes a URI and replaces it with the same thing suffixed with ".html".
