.htaccess - Search Results

I need some help with the .htaccess


I have many search engines pointing to and need to point to the root
FROM
http://yoursite.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=290&p=688
TO
http://yoursite.com

I would like a rewrite rule to the ROOT.


currently I have - not working

# redirect all traffic to
RewriteCond {HTTP_HOST} ^yoursite.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=290&p=688% [nc]
RewriteRule {HTTP_HOST} http://yoursite\.com/public {REQUEST_URI} [R=permanent,L]

Code (markup):

 

May have solved it....

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domainname.com$
RewriteRule ^viewtopic\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domainname\.com\/public\/$1" [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domainname.com$
RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domainname\.com\/public\/$1" [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domainname.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domainname.com$
RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php\/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/domainname\.com\/public\/$1" [R=301,L]

Just to make sure I read that clearly, they're linking to:

http://yoursite.com/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=290&p=688

and you want it to link to:

http://yoursite.com/ ?

If that's the case this should do the trick:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^f=29&t=290&p=688$
RewriteRule ^viewtopic\.php$ /? [R=301,L]

Code (markup):
