mod-rewrite url problem with query string in old URL

[aarondm]

Hi,

 

having problem removing the query string so that it doesnt show up in our new rewritten url...the [QSD] query string discad doesnr remove the query string and causes and internal error:-

 

code is:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}    ^name=Tamarind%20Cove%20Hotel&island=barbados&resort_id=48$    [NC]

RewriteRule ^luxury-hotel-resort/index.php$  /luxury-hotel-resort/Tamarind-Cove-Hotel--barbados-resort---48 [R=301,L,NC,QSD]

RewriteRule ^luxury-hotel-resort/(.*)--(.*)-resort---(.*)$ /luxury-hotel-resort/index.php?name=$1&island=$2&resort_id=$3&redirect=0 [L]

 

old page is :

http://www.prestige-caribbean.com/luxury-hotel-resort/index.php?name=Tamarind Cove Hotel&island=barbados&resort_id=48

 

new page after rewrite and redirect to is:-

http://www.prestige-caribbean.com/luxury-hotel-resort/Tamarind-Cove-Hotel-barbados-resort_id=48

 

any suggestions very much appreciated for this and how I can use one rewrite to change all URLS in the /luxury-hotel-resort/ section as they folow the same url structure, rather adding each one separately as I add new pages

 

thanks
