I'm testing the rule below else where and it's working but on my system it's not (centos 7, Apache/2.4.6) [I changed my domain to domain.com for the post here]
the purpose of the rule is to rewrite http://domain.com/story.php?id=xxxx to http://domain.com/story.php?id=xxxx
note that the wordpress rules work but this one does not
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([^&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^story\.php$ /?p=%1 [L,NC,R=302]
my .htaccess file is below (incase there are conflicting rules)
RewriteBase /
Redirect 301 /forums http://domainforums.com
Options -Indexes
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/forums/(.*)$ /forums/$2 [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([a-z]{2}|zh-CN|zh-TW)/(.*)$ http://$1.domain.com/$2 [R=301,L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(server-info|mv-server-status) - [L]
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
