I am having a very similar problem, but have not figured it out.

I had to change directories from "coaching-results" to "coaching-records" but also had quite a few with extra text at the end of the url. I tried this, but it did not work.

RewriteRule ^/db/coaching-results/1/coach-1-name/(.*)$ [mydomain.com...] [L,R]

if someone knows where I'm going wrong I think it would help both of us.

See this thread from earlier today with a very similar question:

[webmasterworld.com...]

Note, also, that [R] returns a 302 redirect, when you maybe need a 301.

ok jdmorgan i have created this rewrite command after a hardwork but it is not working will u plz help me with it

example url

www.example.com/sms/jokes_category.php?cat_id=66&jtype=1

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} .
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.php\?(cat\ id=.*)&$ /$1.php?$2 [R=301,L]

[jdMorgan]

Query strings are not part of a URL, they are data attached to a URL to be passed to the resource at that URL. Therefore, RewriteRule cannot "see" them in the URL-path that it matches against your pattern. The query string must be handled in the RewriteCond, and parts of it can be back-referenced using %1 through %9.

Code in www.example.com/.htaccess :

RewriteEngine on
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(joke_id=[^&]+&cat_id=[^&]+)&jtype=
RewriteRule ^sms/jokes\.php http://www.example.com/sms/jokes.php?%1 [R=301,L]
#
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(cat_id=[^&]+)&jtype=
RewriteRule ^sms/jokes_category\.php http://www.example.com/sms/jokes_category.php?%1 [R=301,L]

You can move this code into www.example.com/sms/.htaccess by removing both ocurrences of "sms/" from the patterns (only) of the two RewriteRules. Leave the "sms/" path-parts in the substitution URLs.
