Ultimate SEO URLs .htaccess not working

[lim66 Profile]

Hi,

we use Helicon Rewrite 3.1.0.84 on a IIS 6.0 hosting 80+ websites, many of the with .htaccess files (for Typo3, xtCommerce, etc) working without any problems.

Now I installed the Ultimate SEO URLs contribution for osCommerce 2.x and edited .htaccess file as follows:

# Helicon ISAPI_Rewrite configuration file
# Version 3.1.0.84

# Begin Ultimate SEO V2.2d
# Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On


RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^(.*)-p-(.*).html$ product_info.php?products_id=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}
RewriteRule ^(.*)-c-(.*).html$ index.php?cPath=$2&%{QUERY_STRING}

# End Ultimate SEO V2.2d

But every time I e.g. click a product link, site stops working as IIS hangs and worker process uses up to 90% CPU time,
until there is 404 error displayed.
Seems like a loop? IIS log shows many (up to 50) requests for a click on a product link.
When I tried to switch on error log in httpd.conf, no errorlog has been created!?

Tested some rules with the RegEx tester and seems that they have to work??
Don't know what's going wrong here...... please help

ok found the error!!

.htaccess is working as it should the failure was caused by a setting in Ultimate SEO module what caused a redirect loop

now all works fine

Have you removed that module to have it all worked out?
