.htaccess – dashboard crashes with these two things in it. Why?

I need both of these elements to make the Hueman theme work. But when I put both of them in my .htaccess file, the Dashboard crashes:

#1 ->
suPHP_ConfigPath /home/ferentd1/public_html
<- this tells the server where php.ini is located (which contains a memory_limit line to increase memory to 64MB).

#2 ->

# BEGIN WordPress

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

<- this of course is just the standard apache thingy that lets me have multiple pages on the website (like ‘About’, ‘Contact Us’, ‘Support’, …)
