Please help with 301 redirect via htaccess

Please help,

I'm trying to figure out how to 301 redirect from

http://www.domain.com/?rated

to

http://www.domain.com/top



and also redirect second type of url from

http://www.domain.com/?s=free+files

to

http://www.domain.com/sh.php?q=free+files


Thanks in advance.

 

I would suggest a different pattern on your second request. You want requests to the page:

www.mysite.com/free-files to be rewritten to

www.mysite.com/sh.php?q=free-files

you can do this by using the following rule:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9-\.]+)/?$ q.php?s=$1 [L]
