Gallery 3.0.4 Installs OK but can't execute admin (or any other commands) in dashboard

Problem#1: I tried upgrading from 3.0.3 and ended up with a blank screen after upgrade (used 3.0.3 database abd /var + optional modules and themes)
Problem#2: out of the box install, new database, no opt modules or themes and latest git for 3.0.4 and I get what's shown in my topic.

I am on 1and1.com running latest apache 2 and php 5 software (this was updated about 6 months ago)
I am running my 3.0.3 modified .htaccess

I had this problem before and Bharat had modified my .htaccess and I've used it ever since w/no problems

I've attached
1) Dang... Something went wrong! page from trying to access admin dashboard
2) .htaccess file
3). /var/logs/2012-06-17.log

[RESOLVED] Uncommented the rewrite stanza in .htaccess and all seems well - thanks!
