I talked to a few people on IRC a few days ago and we didn't find the
problem.  Google searches for the entry in the error logs have not
helped me resolve this.  I have this on my new server:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    SuexecUserGroup    brasto brasto
    ServerName     flfn.org
    ServerAlias    www.flfn.org
    ServerAdmin    [email protected]
    DocumentRoot   /home/brasto/www/flfn
    <Directory /home/brasto/www/flfn>
        Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
        AllowOverride All
    </Directory>
    CustomLog      /var/log/httpd/brasto/flfn/access_log combined
    ErrorLog       /var/log/httpd/brasto/flfn/error_log
#    Next three lines I'll want after fixing rewrite problem:
#    RewriteEngine On
#    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^flfn\.org$ [NC]
#    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://flfn.org$1 [R=301,L]
</VirtualHost>

Don't try to see the issue on FLFN.org since the site is still on my old
server.  I access it by modifying /etc/hosts with the new IP until the
site is working.  I have mod rewrite installed, and I can verify it by
uncommenting the last three lines of that vhost.  That rewrite works
just fine.  However, if I install Wordpress or Drupal and try to turn on
friendly urls, they create a .htaccess file with these lines:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !=/favicon.ico
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

With that the whole site seems to work except I can't go to
http://flfn.org/ .  If I ask for http://flfn.org/index.php it works. 
All friendly URLs work.  In the .htaccess file, if I comment out every
line except 'RewritEngine on' I still have the same problem, and can't
request http://flfn.org/ without index.php.  If I move the .htaccess
file and put those lines in the vhost config, I get a browser error but
nothing in the server error logs (not the vhost error logs or the
default error logs).  Here's what I get in the browser with the
.htaccess info added to the vhost:

Bad Request

Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.
Apache/2.2.3 (CentOS) Server at flfn.org Port 80

Here's what I get in the vhost error logs when I request http://flfn.org
without /index.php:

[Wed Feb 24 15:05:50 2010] [error] [client 67.182.203.21] Options
FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that
RewriteRule directive is forbidden: /home/brasto/www/flfn/, referer:
http://flfn.org/admin/reports/status

As you can see, I have Options FollowSymLinks set in the vhost.  The
.htaccess file also has Options +FollowSymLinks in it.

Any ideas?
