.htaccess with variable

[ronnyskog]

Im trying to redirect "http://mysite.com/month.php?user=__public__" to "http://mysite.com/month.php" using .htacces, but with no luck.

I have tried this, but its not working:


RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^user=__public__$
RewriteRule ^/month.php$ [mysite.com...] [L,R=301]


What is I doing wrong?

Paths seen by RewriteRule when used in .htaccess are localised.

RewriteRule doesn't 'see' that leading slash, so your pattern can never match.

Remove the leading slash from the pattern.
