.htaccess Redirect 301 rule

[futura]

Hi,
I'm setting 301 Redirects in the .htaccess of a website.

I need to redirect a dynamic url like this:
http://www.mysite.com/en/details_lin...7639&navpage=1
to http://www.mysite.com
The catnavid and the navpage values can change.

I've put in the .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ en/details_links_en\.php\?catnavid(.*)&navpage=(.*)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^en/details_links_en\.php$ http://www.mysite.com? [R=301,L]

But it doesn't work.
Can anyone help me?
Where am I going wrong?

Thanks!

Just have these two lines and it should work:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^en/details_links_en.php http://www.mysite.com [R=301,L]

Make sure your hosting provider supports mod_rewrite in .htaccess

Hi, thanks to all but I still can't make it work.

I tried to put a

Redirect 301 /catnavid=7639&navpage=1 http://www.mysite.com/

and as a result when I click on
http://www.mysite.com/en/details_lin...7639&navpage=1

I get redirected to:
http://www.mysite.com/?catnavid=7639&navpage=1

Can anyone help me solving it?
Thank you!

Read these and see if they help:

Basic 301 Permanent Redirect

Try

Redirect 301 (.*)/catnavid=7639&navpage=1$ http://www.mysite.com/

Thank you.
I've tried but it doesn't work.
It gives me a 404 error and still redirects me to
http://www.mysite.com/?catnavid=7640&navpage=1
....

Sorry if you use the syntax the way I wrote it you need RedirectMatch

RedirectMatch 301 (.*)/catnavid=7639&navpage=1$ http://www.mysite.com/

Things to check:
1. is mod_rewrite enabled for htaccess (its not by default)
2. its best to edit them on the server with VI. Windows editors may add special charaters
3. If the server is windows it won't work
