Another URL rewrite question

I'm trying to rewrite the following URL, and the rewrite seems to work, but doesn;t forward to the rewritten page.

From: domain.com/index.php?random
To: domain.com/random

RewriteRule ^random$ /index.php?random [L]

Code (markup):

With this rewrite in place, I can visit both the From and To URL. I want the From URL to automatically redirect to the To domain (i.e., a user will never see index.php?random in their browser location).

What am I doing wrong here?

 

Please try :
Redirect 301 /index.php?random http://www.domain.com/random

 

This will solved your problem overly:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^/?([^/]+)$ /index.php?$1 [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !\=
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(.+)$
RewriteRule ^/?index.php$ /%1 [R,L]

Code (markup):

This will work even on "/index.php?anything" or "/index.php?whatever".
