Redirect 301 doesn't work properly

Question

I'm trying to perfom a 301 redirect like this:

<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>

RewriteEngine On

##This is the redirect
RewriteRule /page/old-url http://website.com/page/new-url [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]

</ifmodule>

But I got a url like this:

http://website.com/page/new-url?route=page/old-url

I tried many variations for instance:

RedirectMatch 301 /page/old-url http://website.com/page/new-url

But still can't fix it

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Have it like this:

RewriteEngine On

##This is the redirect
RewriteRule ^page/old-url/?$ /page/new-url/ [R=301,L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f   
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d    
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]
