If you want an internal rewrite then following will work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^whorus\.php$ /about.php [L,NC,QSA]

If you want an external redirect (change the URL in the browser) then following will work with R flag:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^whorus\.php$ /about.php [L,NC,QSA,R=301]

I tried this, but when I try to browse [http://www.mySite.com/whorus.php?language=_en] is translated into [http://www.mySite.com/home/mySite/public_html/about.php?language=_en] => not found, because of the additional [home/mySite/public_html] what is missing? – Atara Oct 30 '13 at 08:50

The query string should remain with something like this. This will perform a permanent 301 redirect.

RewriteRule whorus.php http://www.newsite.com/about.php [L,R=301]
