Rewrite rule again, but I do not find a solution; please help me

Setting up a working rewrite rule on a local apache; 403 error

[haircrime]

Hi Guys,
for days now I have been looking through forums, faqs help pages and so.
I have the following problem:

On my webserver I have created a rewrite rule, that hides the nasty long address.
The .htaccess:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?([^/]*\.html?¦[^\./]*)[:;,\.]*$ /cgi-bin/r30msvcshop_anzeige.pl?&var_selektionsfelder_loeschen=var_te&var_hauptpfad=../r30/vc_shop/&var_fa1_select=var_fa1_select¦¦126¦&var_te13_select=var_te13_select¦¦1¦&var_sprache_select=var_sprache_select¦englisch¦lng/EN/¦&var_html_folgemaske=$1 [L]

This changes helps me hide the &var stuff and leaves me with nice .html s.
Online all this workes fine.

Unfortunately on my local apache I dont get it to run.

I added
Options +FollowSymlinks to the .htaccess
and adapted the httpd.conf.
if I try to open it i get the following error log
"Options FollowSymLinks or SymLinksIfOwnerMatch is off which implies that RewriteRule directive is forbidden:"

PLease see here my httpd.conf:

----<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

<Directory "/anwendungen">
Options +Includes -Indexes
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
<Files ~ "^\.ht">
Deny from all
Options +FollowSymlinks
</Files>
</Directory>
----

By playing around I also received a error 500
:.htaccess: Options not allowed here

But nothing seems to work.
Where did I do wrong.
I am very grateful for any kind of help

That clearly indicates that Apache did not recognize the "Options +FollowSymLinks" directive in your .htaccess file.

After you set "AllowOverride All" in httpd.conf, did you restart your server? If not, the changes to httpd.conf will have no effect.

Thank you for your answer,
Yes I restarted the server. I even restarted the whole computer just to make sure.

This is what I understood as well.
It does not recognize my Allowoverride All.
What other causes could it have?

Thank you very much.,
