Help with mode Rewrite and redirect.

I am trying to rewrite one of my dynamic urls to static url, but also I want to redirect the old trafic and page rank to the new one
I have this code on my .htaccess :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^area-rugs$ results.php?category=5
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^category=5$
RewriteRule ^results\.php$ http://www.mysite.com/area-rugs? [R=301,L]

I get a redirect loop on my browser, any suggestions

Thanks

 

Could you more specific, what do you expect when someone is accessing http://www.mysite.com/results.php?category=5 ?

 

Try my suggestion from your other post:
http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=1361088
that should work.

 

thanks for the response. Still not working. What I am trying to do is that when
going to :

http://www.mysite.com/results.php?category=5

you be redirected to :

http://www.mysite.com/area-rugs

but also that http://www.mysite.com/results.php?category=5 be rename to area-rugs internally, in the server. So that when you request area-rugs as the url you get the information from results.php?category=5.

Thanks


Hope this makes more sense.
