Hi,
plase help me with one site.

need to redirect in htaccess old version of subpage:
http://www.siteXY.com/old/index2.php?type=news&type2=news&id_n
to the HP:
http://www.siteXY.com/


so when i write this into htaccess:
RewriteRule old/ / [L,R=301,NE]
it makes it:
http://www.siteXY.com/index2.php?type=news&type2=news&id_n

please, i know it will be something small and stupid...

You can place this in your .htaccess. It does not require mod_rewrite:

redirect 301 old.html http://www.siteXY.com
