I am sorry, I still cannot reproduce the problem. I can only help you if you find a way to reproduce the error with some minimal configuration, either by starting from a default config and adding things until the problem appears, or by starting from your configuration and removing modifications until the problem disappears.

when you have RewriteRules in either .htaccess, <Directory> context, or <Location> context. So look for those. Received on Sat Nov 10 04:33:41 2007
