I couldn't get a rewrite-loop with your version. Perhaps your apache configuration is different. But try this:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^index\.html$ index.html?NEW=1

It will rewrite it only when the query string is blank.

Hi Corona688,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused, I tried ur rule and my page was not redirecting. And my previous rule causing the infinite looping(Attached a screenshot for your reference)

I tried in google chrome to make sure its not a browser issue - No luck same looping error....

Im using version: Apache/2.2.3 linux
OS Centos 5.7 (Final) 32 bit

That's because it's not a redirect. It's a rewrite. Your browser asks for index.html and gets handed index.html?NEW=1. It doesn't actually tell your browser about it.

Perhaps something in your webpage -- which I'm assuming is actually a CGI script since it takes GET requests -- is causing the redirect.

* How to redirect the page... Is there any other option to make apache to redirect the page? rather then rewrite

* Im not using any CGI script for GET request in server

Sorry if my above questions is silly....

If nothing cares whether you make a GET request or not, why bother adding ?NEW=1 ? You don't actually have a file named index.html?NEW=1 do you? That's not going to work, the web browser considers everything after the ? as the query string for a GET request.

You really, really ought to figure out what's redirecting your webpage in the first place before you try redirecting the redirected redirect! You're just going to put a redirection loop inside a redirection loop...

With rewrite rules in sendmail and apparently Apache, sometimes you need to go somewhere else to avoid looping rule 1, and use rule 2 to come back. Good luck.
