301 ignoring dynamic url

ok, first post on stackoverflow, here i go.

i'm strugling to write a 301 redirect for a migration of an old site. The site uses dynamic url's and these don't seem to work.

old site: http://oldsite.com/index.php?actie=contact

new site: http://newsite.com/contact

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
Redirect 301 /index.php?actie=contact http://newsite.com/contact

You can't match against the query string in a Redirect, you have to use mod_rewrite and the %{QUERY_STRING} variable. (also note that Redirect is a mod_alias directive, and has nothing to do with the rewrite engine)

Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^actie=contact(^|&)
RewriteRule ^index\.php http://newsite.com/contact? [L,R=301]

If you want to make it a general rule to match anything after the actie=, then:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^actie=([^&]+)
RewriteRule ^index\.php http://newsite.com/%1? [L,R=301]

Redirec directive cannot match query string.

Use your rule like this in root .htaccess:

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^actie=contact$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://newsite.com/contact? [L,NC,R=301]
