[HELP] .htaccess (keeps returning 500 even though it's active)

[bodge]

Hello Devbest, I am having trouble with .htaccess
Even though it is ON, I can use it to do my .htaccess and .htpasswd with no errors (I do this via Webmin).
But, I'm trying to hide my file extensions and my web server is saying "NO".

I've tried these codes and none of them work :L

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

RewriteRule ^home$ home.php [L]

Any help?

My Apache version is: 2.2.22




EDIT: I have fixed the code returning an error 500, had to run something in Terminal, but the .PHP extension doesn't seem to work still? Says "/home/login" doesn't exist however I have to use .php :S

Is the .htaccess in your root directory?

Is mod_rewrite enabled? Is there anything else in your .htaccess file? Is the .htaccess file readable by the Apache server (ie - 0644)?

Yeah it is.

Yeah it is on.
I have AuthUserFile, AuthName and AuthType in my .htaccess
