.htaccess for redirecting dynamic URL not working

Question

I want to rewrite my URL:

http://jainpopulationregister.com/page.php?action=about

to:

http://jainpopulationregister.com/page/action/about/

with URL rewriting

My current URL rewrite code is as follows:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule page/action/(.*)/ page.php?action=$1
RewriteRule page/action/(.*) page.php?action=$1

But when I place this in my root folder, nothing seems to happen. What am I doing wrong?

you are probably missing RewriteBase / and rule like RewriteRule ^page/action/(.*)/$ /page.php?action=$1 [L,QSA] — Abhik Chakraborty

You want to redirect from
http://jainpopulationregister.com/page.php?action=about
to
http://jainpopulationregister.com/page/action/about/

but your redirect rule does exactly the opposite. Assuming that you really want to redirect from /page.php?action=about to /page/action/about/, use the following configuration in htaccess:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^action=(.*)$ 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /page/action/%1/? [R=302,L]

RewriteRule ^page/action/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/$ pages.php?action=$1 [NC,L]

In "pages.php" file get the action $_GET['action'];
