Re: [users@httpd] Rewriterule syntax not working

["Darly Coupet" <apache@xxxxxxxx>]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} /Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=AWLAS&Category_Code=Abc+Xyz
RewriteRule ^/$  http://www.sitename.com/index.php?action=""
 [R=301,L]

The condition is not met; It is going to the old url.
It should redirect to the new url when the old string (url) is true.

Thanks, Darly

Telling us that it is "not working" is not a good way to get help.
Tell us exactly what happened.

With mod_rewrite, you need to use the RewriteLog to debug.

But your first problem is that you need to read the docs for
RewriteRule, and in particular the box that is titled "Query String".
It tells you that RewriteRule doesn't match against the query string.
You need to use RewriteCond %{Query_String}
