mod_rewrite + .htaccess Problem

I currently have this on my .htaccess file

So that will produce www.domain.com/url.html

Now I want to add this...

So that will produce www.domain.com/buy/something

BUT when I combine everything in one .htaccess file I'm getting an infinite loop on my website...

Any idea how to fix this? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

 

I don't see what is causing the infinite loop, but try this:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule (.+)\.html$ index.php?page=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^buy/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=buy&catname=$1 [L]

Also, why are using .html extensions, why not just get rid of it altogether? e.g. domain.com/buy, domain.com/buy/item

Which would be:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^buy/([^/]+)/?$ index.php?page=buy&catname=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [L]

 

Thanks for the reply.

I got help from another forum and fixed it using the code below...

As for your question, there's really no specific reason why I'm using .html extension, its just I started using .html extension on my old pages and I don't really want to replace those with the new URL format...

Thanks again!
