Redirecting loop (GET form)

[XpertWorlock]

Seem to have a loop occurring, can't seem to figure out how to stop it.

 

 

EXAMPLE :

 

newsArchives.php?month=5&year=2010

 

 

RewriteRule ^newsArchives/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /newsArchives\.php?month=$1&year=$2 [NC,L]


RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^month=([0-9]+)&year=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^newsArchives.php$ /newsArchives/%1/%2/? [NC,R=301,L]

 

The top one is for a different script, but I am assuming the bottom one is changing to the top rewrite and than looping over and over.

 

Any quick ideas how to fix?

Well the simple answer is you fix your site so that it uses the 'pretty URLs' not the ones with a query_string. A 'hacky' way of preventing it is to track which you've redirected...

 

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !rewritten=true$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^month=([0-9]+)&year=([0-9]+)
RewriteRule ^newsArchives.php$ /newsArchives/%1/%2/? [R=302]

RewriteRule ^newsArchives/([0-9]+)/([0-9]+)/?$ /newsArchives\.php?month=$1&year=$2&rewritten=true
