htaccess 301 redirects not working

[Designer156]

Hi, i've just redesigned my site and want to use some 301 redirects to catch the old google results.

For example, this page:http://www.trjones.co.uk/index.php/l...&id=4&Itemid=5

needs to point here: http://www.trjones.co.uk/index.php/lubricants

myhtaccess file looks like this:

RewriteOptions inherit

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^trjones\.biz$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.trjones\.biz$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/www\.trjones\.co\.uk\/" [R=301,L]


Redirect 301 /index.php/lubricants?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=5 http://www.trjones.co.uk/index.php/lubricants

the .biz redirect works, but the page redirect doesn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks

156,

Just WHY are you quoting and escaping your RewriteRule's redirection?

Redirect cannot access the query string.
