    I've been working this for days and can't figure it out.

    After migrating my CMS platform I want to rewrite...

    
http://www.mysite.com/cgi-bin/news/viewnews.cgi?category=1&id=123456

to

http://www.mysite.com/eng/index.php?news=123456

(note:  category not required in destination URL)
    Code (markup):
    So, I've tried this...

    
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^viewnews\.cgi$ /eng/index.php?news=%1 [L]
    Code (markup):
    ...and no luck whatsoever.

    Can anyone help??!
