I have to rewrite old URLs like this:

Old URL:

http://www.domain.de/index.php?id=189&ext[stars]=PvVYdx58CfBpEIcUsdDvuE4fsvnwHw

New URL:

http://www.domain.de/sub1/sub2/stars/PvVYdx58CfBpEIcUsdDvuE4fsvnwHw

So I built following rule in my .htaccess file:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)&ext\[stars\]=([A-Za-z0-9-]+)$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.de/sub1/sub2/stars/%2? [L,R=301]

but it does not work, the redirect happens to http://www.domain.de/sub1/sub2 without adding the parameter.

Any hints how to get this working?

You say, you want to rewrite, but the rule does a redirect. Which one do you want? – Olaf Dietsche Jun 24 '16 at 09:42
a redirect, which is a rewrite as well :-) You see it in the rule (R=301) – Steffen Kamper Jun 24 '16 at 09:50
The rule looks good and it does work as tested on my system. Restart your browser, clear the cache, and: Never test with [`R=301`](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9204355/1741542)! – Olaf Dietsche Jun 24 '16 at 10:14
