mod_rewrite kills Apache

[ppeter]

Hi folks,

Whenever I access a page that would trigger my mod_rewrite in my .htaccess, Apache fails.

Here is my .htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ template.php?section=home&page=home [L]
RewriteRule ^([^/\.]+)/([^/\.]+\.php)?$ template.php?section=$1&page=$2 [L]

Anyone know whats wrong?
