Mod rewrite problem upgrading from Apache 1.3.29 to 2.2.3

What should my rewriterules look like?

[glue]

I've upgraded my server from apache 1.3.29 to 2.2.3 and suddently my rewrite rules aren't working
This seems to be a common problem but I can't find a solution.

My .htaccess looks like this:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php 
RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^([0-9]+)/$ index.php?side_id=$1 [qsappend] 
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php?side_id=1

What should it look like?

I've placed af phpinfo(); at http://www.example.com/phpinfo.php [and] can see that the mod_rewrite module is loaded.

My server configuration looks like this:

<VirtualHost*> ServerAdmin [e-mail]
 DocumentRoot /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/public_html
 ServerName example.com
 ServerAlias *.example.com
 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/cgi-bin
* <Directory /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/public_html>
 Options FollowSymLinks
 AllowOverride All
 </Directory>
*
 ErrorLog /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/logs/error_log
 php_admin_value open_basedir "/var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/public_html/:/tmp/"
 php_admin_value safe_mode_exec_dir "/var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/"
 CustomLog /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/logs/access_log common
 Alias /stats /var/www/virtual/exampledk/example.com/system/stats/
</VirtualHost>

I hope you can help.

Best regards!
