Problems with mod_rewrite

[JuStInEr]

When I try to use mod rewrite in my .htaccess files, I get a 500 error. When trying to solve this I added the following to the Apache directives:

<Directory /var/www/web2/web/>  
	Options FollowSymLinks
	AllowOverride All
</Directory>

But I still get the 500 error when accessing the website.

The log says the following:

[Tue Nov 13 12:44:21 2007] [alert] [client 10.0.0.199] /var/www/web2/web/.htaccess: Illegal option RewriteEngine, referer: http://test.nl/

The .htacces file is very baic:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^alice.html$ bob.html

Hope some can help me...

Please make sure that you have mod_rewrite installed and enabled on your server.
