Hoping this is my last question - I have the following .htaccess file: RewriteEngine On # Rewrite Map for Page Rewrites RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l RewriteRule .* ${smc_rewriter:%{REQUEST_FILENAME}^%{REQUEST_URI}} [L,QSA] # Rewrite Map for old URL Redirects ReWriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} sitepages/p.*.php$ ReWriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !redirect_to_new_url=yes ReWriteRule .* ${smc_rewriter:%{REQUEST_FILENAME}^%{REQUEST_URI}}?redirect_to_new_url=yes [R=301] The first block works well to rewrite URL's from a mapping program - e.g.: new_page_name.php => sitepages/pid123.php The second block is designed to send a 301 redirect to anyone that uses the old URL's (maybe via a bookmark or search result) which I also added to the map - this is supposed to redirect: sitepages/pid123.php => new_page_name.php?redirect_to_new_url=yes The query string bit is to avoid a loop. That piece works ok, but when I added this block, the first part now doesn't stop despite the [L] flag, it rewrites the new url to sitepages/pid123.php then the next block gets executed then the first one again, each request like this calls the program 3 times.
