htaccess redirect 301 single url

[eluser]ironlung[/eluser]
Hey thanks for helping.

This worked great

Code:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

With these the first one put me on the 404 page
second one gave me an internal server error (I did of course replace the text you suggested)

Code:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
[code]

or

[code]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

My real issue is that I cant make a single one page 301 redirect

Code:

Redirect 301 /controller/method/value1 http://www.domain.com/controller/method/value2

gives me this

Code:

http://www.domain.com/controller/method/value2?controller/method/value1

ie it query strings the first url... So weird.
