Issues with CMS2 and mod_redirect [SOLVED]

[spcherub]

I'm getting 404 errors when I enable mod_redirect on a new install of CMS2. Here is a quick recap of the config:
- CMS 2.1.1 fresh install
- CMS installed in sub-directory under domain
- I have added subdirectory reference to RewriteBase in htaccess
- I have enabled mod-redirect in config.php
- I get a 404 error when accessing any page other than default (home)
- I am not getting any errors in http logs
- This is on a Debian instance, running Apache2 and MySQL5+
- Using "internal" to enable pretty urls work fine, but I don't want the "index.php" inserted into the URL

The strange thing is I have another older install of CMSMS (1.12 I think), that is configured the same way and works just fine, so I am not inclined to suspect the server setup.

I must be missing something very straightforward, so any help pointing me in the right direction will be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Sanjay

Other than checking for typos and silly errors
I suggest you look in any parent directory for .htaccess files that could be messing with stuff.

And you should follow your access logs to see exactly what is happening.

if you are requesting a URL for http://mysite.com/subdir/somepage
you should see in the access log a request for
http://mysite.com/subdir/index.php?page=somepage

And that is when cmsms starts.

Turns out it was a configuration issue with the Apache instance. For some reason the server config did not include a ServerName directive and this was causing the problem.
