How can I exclude a specific set of files from certain rules?

I am attempting to rewrite the URLs on my site from .php to .html and I have some other rules that are interfering with what I would like to do.

The code below shows all the rules working but I have some flat PHP pages that I would like to turn into .html pages. An example would be history.php to history.html. 

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /


##Vendor Pages
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html?$ vendors2.php?vendorslug=$3&locationslug=$1&categoryslug=$2 [L,QSA,NC]

##Listing Pages
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^.]+)\.html?$ listings.php?locationslug=$1&categoryslug=$2 [L,QSA,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^(.*/)?history\.html$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)\.html?$ $1.php [L,NC]

##Locations Pages
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)\.html?$ locations.php?locationslug=$1&Submit=Submit [L,QSA,NC]

Currently, the code appears to be confused with other rules because it is attempting to return the page as a "Location Page" because of the rules.

There are several pages that I need to turn into .html (history.php, news.php, maps.php, resources.php, trivia.php and others).

Any constructive help is appreciated.

It's possible that you're simply not matching the RewriteCond's. Your RewriteCond to check that the file exists is likely being interpreted as, say, "is /home/username/public_html/history.html.php a file?", which will fail.

I would suggest that rather than include several RewriteCond's before your rule, you could replace it with a single RewriteRule, before your ##Locations Pages. Something like the following:

RewriteRule (history|news|maps|resources)\.html $1.php [L]

Note that this could make for a loooong line if you have a lot of entries, so you could just split it into several rules.

If you're looking for the request being in the "root":

RewriteRule ^(history|news|maps|resources)\.html$ $1.php [L]
