.htaccess throws 403 Forbidden / Zend Framework quickstart project creation (Mac OS X 10.6.5)

I am trying to get Zend Framework's quickstart tutorial up and running, but i ran into .htaccess issue. It seems if i remove the .htaccess file, the project runs fine, but if i leave it in there it throws a 403 For开发者_运维技巧bidden. The .htaccess is the default file generated by Zend Framework console command. Here is the .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]

This is under Mac OS X 10.6.5

mod_rewrite is on AllowOveride All

Here is my virtual host info

<VirtualHost *:80>
     ServerName zf_cms.local
     DocumentRoot /Users/kjye/Sites/zf_cms/public
     SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV "development"
     <Directory /Users/kjye/Sites/zf_cms/public>
          Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI
          DirectoryIndex index.php
          AllowOverride All
          Order allow,deny
          Allow from all
     </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

I fixed it by adding "Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI" Thanks for viewing.

This turns out to work under mac os. thanks for all the help and comment.

I was having the same issue and added

Options +Indexes +FollowSymLinks +ExecCGI

Can someone shed some clarity on what the actual problem is and what this does to rectify it?
