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

    You need some rewrite conditions to specify when this rule will be used. Without them, you will keep running the same rewrite rule indefinitely, giving you an error. Try:

    RewriteCond  %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^archives/(\w+)$ test.php?archives=$1 [L]
