Passing a Query String via .HTACCESS

Question

I have a dynamic query string that I need to pass via an .htaccess redirect. For example:

I need to redirect this URL: http://mysite.com/page1?action=signup&var2=dynamicVar

To this: http://mysite.com?action=signup&var2=dynamicVar

I know this is pretty simple, but I'm really not sure what type of rule/syntax would work for this.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

If you already have .htaccess then simply add this line:

RewriteRule ^page1/?$ page2 [L,R,QSA,NC]

Update: Based on your comments:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (^|&)action=signup(&|$) [NC]
RewriteRule ^page1/?$ / [L,R,QSA,NC]

This looks like exactly what I'm trying to do. However, I mis-spoke in my question. I really need to redirect this: mysite.com/page1?var=dynamicVar To this: mysite.com?var=dynamicVar . Any idea on how could do that?

Thanks for your quick response, however, I wasn't totally clear again (sorry!). I've revised my original post above. The big thing is that I only need to redirect if the first part of the query string matches 'action=signup'.

Ah the ever changing requirements :) Anyway I edited again, check it now.

Thanks again! Unfortunately, this doesn't appear to be doing anything. I made sure to change 'page1' to 'login' per my example URLs. Any idea clue why it wouldn't be working? I appreciate your generous help!

On second thought, the only thing I think that would cause this to not work is the fact that my urls have a '/' between the directory and the start of the query string. Could this be the cause?

this is the rewrite rule

RewriteRule ^page1?(.*)$ /?$1 [L,R=301]

redirect to

http://mysite.com/?action=signup&var2=dynamicVar

this will redirect all request o page1 with get parameters to http://mysite.com

Use %{REQUEST_URI} fi.:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^website\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

rewrites anything that starts with "website" to "www.website..." including the querystring (by use of %{REQUEST_URI})
