301 Redirect Help Needed

via htaccess

[u4eas]

I am trying to 301 a uri like this:
example.com/index.php?id=1

to point to the new new uri:
example.com/toons

Any thoughts I have tried a couple different ways and cant seem to get it right.

1. Are you using Apache/Linux... or IIS/Windows... or something else?

2. I presume you've got lots of URIs like

example.com/index.php?id=1
example.com/index.php?id=2
example.com/index.php?id=3

and so on. Do you need to redirect each one to

example.com/alpha
example.com/beta
example.com/gamma

or is there some other pattern? Please give us a bit more info :-)

Im not at home so I cant see the things I tried

Webdoctor, you are correct

Apache using htaccess

I have a bunch of uris like you showed above, and need them to map them just like you thought.
