Rewrite rule with htaccess, redirect 301

I am trying to execute this rule:

RewriteRule ^featured$ home.php?featurez=1 [L,NC,PT,R=301]

But what I get is:

http://apps.com/var/www/vhosts/apps.com/httpdocs/iphone/home.php?featurez=1

I tried to overcome it with PT tags...but nothing has an effect on it :(..whats the problem and how do I solve it..

When you leave off the leading slash in your rule's target, when apache needs to guess whether the path is a URI path or a file path, it guesses wrong. You can help apache out by either adding a leading slash (or making the target an absolute URI) or adding a rewrite base:

RewriteBase /iphone/
RewriteRule ^featured$ home.php?featurez=1 [L,NC,PT,R=301]

(or whatever the base URI is for your request)

Or change the target to an absolute URI:

RewriteRule ^featured$ /iphone/home.php?featurez=1 [L,NC,PT,R=301]

This is assuming your htaccess file is sitting in the directory "iphone" inside your document root, and to access the redirect you go to http://your.domain/iphone/featured. Otherwise, just get rid of all the iphone/ stuff.
