    Hello, How can I do a mod rewrite so I can redirect old urls with variables to new pages. For example here is the code that is not working with variables in them. Here you can see the variable "id" in the url and trying to redirect to new pages. Any ideas?

    RewriteRule ^gallery/full-face-photos.asp?id=AJ$ new-page1.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^hairline/hairline-photos.asp?id=GG$ other-hairline2.html [R=301,L]

      Try this:

      RewriteRule ^gallery/full-face-photos\.asp?id=AJ\$ new-page1.html [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^hairline/hairline-photos\.asp?id=GG\$ other-hairline2.html [R=301,L]

        When I do 

         Redirect 301 /aboutold/ www.domain.com/aboutnew/


        I get

        http://www.domain.com/aboutnew/?q=aboutold/

        And it shows the homepage.. not the about page

        In my htacces there a rule with code:
         RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]


        Please tell my why and how to fix. [ed. note: lucasdegen last edited this post 14 years, 4 months ago.]
