mod rewrite htaccess - .htaccess

Question

I'm trying to achieve te following rewrite:
The url, stenenkermis.be or www.stenenkermis.be will result in www.stenenkermis.be/2012/v1/
www.stenenkermis.be/2012/v1/page/param/param/ needs to result in
www.stenenkermis.be/2012/page.php?param1=&param2= (but the parameters are optionality the user can also go to home/ without parameters)
Currently this is my htaccess file:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^stenenkermis\.be$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.stenenkermis.be/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^$ /2012/v1/ [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/ /2012/$1.php [NC,R]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /2012/$1.php?arg1=$2&arg2=$3 [NC,R]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /2012/$1.php?arg1=$2&arg2=$3 [NC,R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?stenenkermis.be/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule \.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ - [F]
the only problem is that my url gets redirected to
http://www.stenenkermis.be/2012/page.php?param1=&param?= in the address bar ,I don't want the user to see this.
Can anyone help me with figuring this htaccess out?

Answer 1

Don't use R in your rewrite flags, since it means mod_rewrite is instructed to send an HTTP redirect to the user. Use QSA instead.

Answer 2

Fge is right, but your rules seem to be in the wrong order.
Rule of thumb: always start with the most complex the go to the less complex.
And of course, add QSA instead of R in the right places:
As a suggestion I've added all the static files (it's my rule in my prod environment):
Thus:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^stenenkermis\.be$
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.stenenkermis.be/$1 [R=301,L]
# Rewrite, but **keep on** with modified URL:
RewriteRule ^$ /2012/v1/ [NC,QSA]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /2012/$1.php?arg1=$2&arg2=$3 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/([^/]+) /2012/$1.php?arg1=$2 [NC,QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^2012/v1/([^/]+)/ /2012/$1.php [NC,QSA,L]
# operate with static files: forbid if not coming for original website:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(www.)?stenenkermis.be/.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)(\.(css|js|htc|pdf|jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico))$ - [NC,F]
And now two hints:
Please try to use the RewriteLog directive: it helps you to track down such problems:
# Trace:
# (!) file gets big quickly, remove in prod environments:
RewriteLog "/web/logs/mywebsite.rewrite.log"
RewriteLogLevel 9
RewriteEngine On
