Symfony Rewrite rules on Zeus webserver

Question

I would like to run a symfony project on a zeus webserver, however i cannot get the rewrite rules to work. Has anyone done this successfully The symfony .htaccess is as follows:

Options +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine On

  # uncomment the following line, if you are having trouble
  # getting no_script_name to work
  #RewriteBase /

  # we skip all files with .something
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \..+$
  #RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.html$
  #RewriteRule .* - [L]

  # we check if the .html version is here (caching)
  RewriteRule ^$ index.html [QSA]
  RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.html [QSA]
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

  # no, so we redirect to our front web controller
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

From what I can tell the following should work on zeus:

match URL into $ with (^(.*)$)
if matched then set URL = index.php

But it doesn't...

I can only load the home page from / all other pages just 404.

Thanks..
