Is there any way to stop this htaccess redirect loop?

Question

I can't figure out a way to stop this htaccess redirect from looping.

Options +FollowSymLinks
Options -Multiviews
RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=1
RewriteEngine On 
RewriteRule ^pages/?$ page.php?p=g&id=1$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^p=g&id=1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /pages/? [r=301,nc]

Now it just loops until the browser says "This webpage has a redirect loop". The address bar on the browser shows the correct address at least..

Is it possible to stop it from looping?

I have tried: RewriteOptions MaxRedirects=1 with no success.

I would like to have it so any links to /page.php?p=g&id=1 redirect to /pages/

Thanks.

What URL are you calling initially in your browser? Are those your only rules, or are there more? — CBroe, Mar 21 '14 at 12:09

You have 2 rules:

A -> B
B -> A

you've made the loop so it works as it should. You have to decide which way you want to go.

I've tried removing one and testing it, and vice versa. The loop stops but it no longer redirects to /pages/, it just stays /page.php?p=g&id=1 – Eddie Mar 21 '14 at 12:40
Please tell what you want to achieve. – pawel7318 Mar 21 '14 at 12:43

@user1654748 put that statement in your question, otherwise it's not clear what you're trying to do – arco444 Mar 21 '14 at 12:48

You can probably just omit the first rule you had:

RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^p=g&id=1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /pages/? [R=301,L]

It's redirecting as I wanted it too with that method, but to a 404, "The requested URL xxx was not found on this server. Any suggestions? – Eddie Mar 22 '14 at 08:45
