    Hello all,

    I am having issues doing 301 redirects after rewriting URLs. It adds queries at the end of the URL after redirecting.

    http://www.thedomain.com/about/sitemap.php
    should 301 redirect to:
    http://www.thedomain.com/site-map.html
    but it redirects to:
    http://www.thedomain.com/site-map.html?page=about/sitemap.php
    and gives a 404

    This is the .htaccess code:
    --------------------------------------------
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.thedomain\.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thedomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    #Rewrites page.shtml as index.php?page
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]

    #301 map for new CMS site
    redirect 301 /about/sitemap.php http://www.thedomain.com/site-map.html
    --------------------------------------------


    Any ideas?

    Still same result with:

    RedirectPermanent /about/sitemap.php http://www.thedomain.com/site-map.html


    :(

    this is not working either:

    RedirectMatch permanent ^/about/sitemap\.php$ http://www.thedomain.com/site-map.html

    Took me all day, but I figured it out!
    I had to use RewriteRule to make it work:

    -----------------------------------------------
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteRule ^about/sitemap\.php$ site-map.html [R=301,L]
    [add as many 301 redirect as you want here]

    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.thedomain\.com [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.thedomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

    #Rewrites page.shtml as index.php?page
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?page=$1 [QSA]
    -----------------------------------------------

    Hope this post helps someone out.

    Cheers
