htaccess working good on localhost, giving errors on 127.0.0.1

Question

When i view my website on localhost it is working great. When i try to open it on my network ip (192.68.x.x) or 127.0.0.1 im getting Error 500 Internal server error. Ive checked the apache log and this is the error :

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.

I read about the same error on so and i get some htaccess examples where it should work, tried 'm all but i just keep getting the messages, and in some cases http://localhost also stops working. My htaccess redirects everything back to index.php from where i start my website classes.

here is my htaccess :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ index.php?param=$1 [QSA,L]

Could anyone point me into the right direction ? Thanks!

1/ Check if you've got this rule in your hosts file : 127.0.0.1 localhost.

2/ Check if Apache rewrite_module is activated.

3/ Make sure your project is in a subfolder (let's take mysite/ as an example).

4/ Set your root htaccess (/.htaccess):

Options -Indexes +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

5/ Set your project htaccess (/mysite/.htaccess) :

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /mysite/
RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule  ^(.*)$ index.php?param=$1 [QSA,L]
