.htaccess redirect loop error

Question

htaccess :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
    RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

    # Remove www.
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://%1/$1 [L,R=301]

    RedirectMatch 301 /page_1 http://domain.com/segment_1/page_1
    RedirectMatch 301 /page_2 http://domain.com/segment_1/page_2
    RedirectMatch 301 /segment_1/page_x http://domain.com/segment_1/segment_2/page_x
</IfModule>

The last redirect works but the first two don't. (Error infinite loop).

Anyone has an idea why?

Answer 1

Okay, I found the error (If anyone's intrested):

I must not write RedirectMatch 301 instead I simply have to write Redirect. So simple.

Answer 2

I normally serve my redirects before my removal of index.php

Here's an example I know to work http://d.pr/n/1rQO
