Rewrite rule not working

Question

I'm breaking my head in redirecting a few page from my old asp website to my new php website.

For example, I want to redirect permanently the following 2 pages from my asp website to my php website

1) http://www.mywebsite.com/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=11&cat=food&sortorder=mostrecent&page=1&pagesize=12

TO

http://www.mywebsite.com/index.php?route=product/category&path=10_11

where 11 should be the link between old and new website to display the correct page.

2) shopexd.asp?id=3903&prod=food&vrnt=green&mrk=studio&cat=11

TO

index.php?route=product/product&path=10_11&product_id=3903

where the number 11 is the link between old and new url for the category and the number 3903 is the link for the product number

I have the following rewrite rule in my htaccess page for the first redirect, but it seems not be triggered. What is wrong? Please help.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/shopdisplayproducts\.asp\?id=([0-9]+).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^shopdisplayproducts\.asp\?id=([0-9]+).*$ index.php?route=product/category&path=10_$1 [R=301,L]

I also tried:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^shopdisplayproducts\.asp\?id=([0-9]+).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^shopdisplayproducts\.asp\?id=([0-9]+).*$ index.php?route=product/category&path=10_$1 [R=301,L]

Thanks for any help Sabko

You need to use QUERY_STRING variable in rule condition:

RewriteEngine On

# /shopexd.asp?id=3903&prod=food&vrnt=green&mrk=studio&cat=11 to
# /index.php?route=product/product&path=10_11&product_id=3903
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d+)&.*&cat=(\d+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^shopexd\.asp$ /index.php?route=product/category&path=10_%2&product_id=%1 [R=301,NC,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=(\d+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^shopdisplayproducts\.asp$ /index.php?route=product/category&path=10_%1 [R=301,NC,L]
