Rewrite problem? http://localhost/gitlist/ fails with 404. http://localhost/gitlist/index.php works

[Schafdog]

Hi 

Wonder what I am doing wrong, but for some reason the default index is rewritten wrongly and fails to to work with gitlist. 

I have a apache 2.4 like this:

LogLevel alert rewrite:trace3

Alias /gitlist "/var/www/gitlist/"

<Directory /var/www/gitlist >

Options FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride All

</Directory>

---- .htaccess (Set  the RewriteBase) 

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    Options -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch

    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteBase /var/www/gitlist

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,NC]

</IfModule>

<Files config.ini>

    order allow,deny

    deny from all

</Files>

DirectoryIndex index.php

----

The rewrite log when failing is:

Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
