Apache Configuration Question
301 Rewrite Rule Not working
We want to redirect Below mentioned URL.
From URL:
www.example.com/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0
To URL :
www.example.com/4GWe wrote 301 rules in apache configuration as below.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/itemLevelFilterPage.action?keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0 /4G [L,R=301]
But redirection is not working as expected. Any Suggestion will be highly appreciated.

mod_rewrite will not look at query strings as part of its matching, unless you specifically ask it to:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/itemLevelFilterPage\.action$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^keyWordTxt=&srchTyp=CATNAV&attrFilterList=attr_brand%3A%223M%22&resultPage=0$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G? [R=301,L]
The first condition makes sure we're looking at the right page, the second checks the query string, and the rule will rewrite the URL to the desired one.
The trailing question mark on the rule ensures the old query string is removed. If you're on Apache 2.4 the query string discard flag is available:
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/4G [R=301,L,QSD]
