CMS made simple mod_rewrite

[#1]

I have an htaccess file to rewrite CMSMS page urls to more friendly names.  However i am getting an error when I set the site up on my cgi web space.
This is my htaccess file.  Can anyone tell me what I am missing?

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Redirect all requests that don't contain a dot or trailing slash to
# include a trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.
RewriteRule ^(.*) %{REQUEST_URI}/ 
# Rewrites urls in the form of /parent/child/
# but only rewrites if the requested URL is not a file or directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

Thanks

If the ccgi server is anything like the web server then you probably have problems with it reporting an overlong path and unexpected slashes. I had to write test rules that hard-redirected to a dummy page and dumped the variables into the URL, that way I could see what the variables contained and adjust the rule to compensate.

The security model suEXEC on new ccgi does not allow that Options line so it needs to be removed. The server configuration sets the equivalent of that by default. I think the file should work without that.
However suEXEC uses ~username mapping and %{REQUEST_URI} contains /~username/rest_of_url. So /~username will appear in the browser address line when a trailing slash is added. You could use %{ENV:SCRIPT_URL} if you don't want /~username to appear.
