rewrite rules in .htaccess file help needed

[#1]

Hi,
I have an application build on Zend framework with a typical Zend Framework .htaccess files. I installed the app on many servers, but I completely cannot install it on your server. Obviously the problem must be with .htaccess rules. Could someone have a look and modify them? This can be helpful for others trying to install Zend apps. Thanks

RewriteEngine On
###### rewrite base
RewriteBase /cpbc/public/.

###### rewrite conditions
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
###### rewrite rule
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

Assuming that .htaccess file is in the /cpbc/public folder try setting the RewriteBase line to

RewriteBase /cpbc/public

The file needs to be uploaded as ASCII with access permissions set to 0640.
Have you set file and folder permissions as described in the CGI platform upgrade FAQ?
