I get the following error in an elgg installation on a centos server with cPanel.

Request exceeded the limit of 10 internal redirects due to probable configuration error. Use 'LimitInternalRecursion' to increase the limit if necessary. Use 'LogLevel debug' to get a backtrace.

The error occurs because of below rule:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\_\-]+)\/(.*)$ engine/handlers/page_handler.php?handler=$1&page=$2 [QSA,L]  

I installed elgg on a similar server without cpanel and I had no problem.

Here is my http.conf file:
