301 redirect errors

[mkndfr]

I deleted a php database forum on my static html website and now I'm getting all sorts of 404 errors in webmaster tools.

I tried to do a redirect to my home page for example this page

mydomain.c​om/​for​um/​vie​wto​pic​.ph​p?f​=4&​t=7​3&s​tar​t=0

now redirects to my home page but the url is

mydomain.com/?f=4&t=73&start=0

what should my code in htaccess be?

What am I doing wrong?!

Thanks

Mark

If you want to discard the query string, this should suffice, but of course requires that you do not have other parameters of these names in use:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^(([ft]|start)=\d+)+$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://example.com/ [L,R=301]

I haven't tested this regexp yet. If it doesn't work, have a look at the mod_rewrite documentation.

By they way, you should use example.com, example.net or example.org as example domains. These are reserved for this purpose. Other domains might be owned by someone.
