Apache RewriteRule infinite loop

I'm working on rebuilding a link structure of a site.

For some parts the site now respond with actual php script like:

DOMAIN/about-us.php

I have to remap those kind of URLs like so (this is just an example):

DOMAIN/about-us.php --> DOMAIN/uk/about-us

Since those pages have been already indexed I'd like to use 301 redirects to the new resources.

I used those kind of rules:

RewriteRule ^/about-us.php$ /uk/company/about-us   [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^/uk/company/about-us$ about-us.php   [L]

but this hit an infinite loop.

I tried different solutions with no luck (I tried also this one: How to stop .htaccess loop - the second method suggested). The only thing that worked in my environment was to rename about-us.php and update the rule. But since we have a lot of scripts renaming all of those is not an optimal option.

Give this a try:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+(.*)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [R=301,QSA,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f
RewriteRule /?([^/]+)/?$ $1.php [L]

Will work only for the php's on the root folder.
