How to stop htaccess rewrite rule carrying over query string
- by geoffs3310
I am setting up some redirects. I want to redirect the following URL:
/cms/index.php?cat_id=2
to the following URL:
/flash-chromatography
The rule I currently have is as follows:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^cat_id=2$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^cms/index\.php$ /flash-chromatography [L,R=301]
This rule is almost perfect apart from it redirect the URL to the following:
/flash-chromatography?cat_id=2
So you see my problem is it has kept the ?cat_id=2 part when I don't want it to.
How do I stop it keeping this bit?
