issue in redirect urls in htaccess

Question

I want to redirect a url to another location using htaccess file. Here's what I write but it doesn't work:

RewriteRule ^index.php?module=paper&func=view_abtract&code=([0-9]+) http://$1.papers.abstract.com [L,R=301]

I try to find the problem ... but nothing found

Edited.

Answer 1

You cannot use Query string in RewriteRule. Use this code instead:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^module=paper&func=view_astract&code=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php/?$ http://%1.papers.abstract.com? [L,R=301,NC]
