Unable to mod rewrite ?g2_page=1

Hello,
I use a gallery 2 script and I tried my best using help on the site to rewrite ?g2_page=1

Here is what I wanted to do:

www.domain.com/wallpapers/?g2_page=1

it should redirect to www.domain.com/wallpapers/

www.domain.com/wallpapers/nature/?g2_page=1

it should redirect to www.domain.com/wallpapers/nature/

BTW, it should not redirect pages with subsequent numbers like ?g2_page=2 or ?g2_page=3 etc etc


I tried with the following -

Rewriterule ^([^/]*)/+?g2_page1$ /wallpapers/$1/$2/ [R=301,L]

Rewriterule ^([^/]*)/+([^/]*)/+?g2_page1$ /wallpapers/$1/$2/$3-$4 [R=301,L]

It fails where am I going wrong?

 

rewrite is complex . I am always use the default setting .
First step is to check if the .htaccess file works.
Then check the other elements affect the rewrite affects.

 

You cannot use it if you have a Windows Hosting Server.

 

he still can use it as long mod_rewrite was enable on the server

 

From what I know, it is never possible on a Windows Server. That is what is happening with my hosting company currently.
