Question about QUERY_STRING redirects with mod_rewrite

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

Hi,

I'm trying to do 301 redirects from a website which used queries extensively
but doesn't use any now. I found this piece of code but it doesn't seem to
work.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=13$

RewriteRule ^/page.php$ http://www.example.com/newname.htm? [L,R=301]


All the examples I found are very similar to this one but I can't get any of
them to work, it simply keeps the ?id=13 part and doesn't rewrite the url.
Am I doing anything wrong or has something changed from one mod_rewrite
revision to another?

Best regards,
Tiago Marques

If it's not doing anything, maybe you put them in the wrong VirtualHost?

If you put it in .htaccess, the RewriteRule will never match due to
only matching a leading slash -- those are never present in
per-directory context. You'd also need to make sure AllowOverride was
set for that Directory.

It was in the .htaccess. You were absolutely right, with the leading slash
removed it works great. I'm not using "AllowOverride" though, will I have
any problem because of it?
Thank you for helping out.
