Apache rewrites for url with query parameters

Question

I have a list of urls to redirect. A lot of them include query parameters.

So, for example, I need to redirect

index.php?id=627&type=98

to

/about-us/contact/

I thought that the following would work:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} "^id=627&type=98$" [NC]
RewriteRule "^index\.php" "/about-us/contact/?" [NC,R,L]

But it is not working. What is wrong with the Rewrite Rule?

Try not to use quoted strings:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=627&type=98$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ /about-us/contact/? [NC,R,L]

To put in site config:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=627&type=98$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ /about-us/contact/? [NC,R,L]

Thanks, that actually works. I had it without quotes before, but then I had a / at the beginning of the RewriteSource. Such a stupid mistake... Also it seems the rules don't work in the site config in apache, only in the .htaccess

If you want to put them in site config (recommended), I've added the subsection for that.
