htaccess Redirect 301 ignored in drupal site

Hello,

I have changed part of an old Drupal Site to a Wordpress site in a subdomain.

The main part of the Drupal site still exists, I have just taken the shopping cart portion and built it in a Wordress, which sits in a subdomain

I am trying to redirect the old product pages ot the new ones, but my htaccess code is ignored..

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on

Redirect 301  /cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=A30-E https://resources.beststart.org/a30-e-risks-of-cannabis/

Open in new window

I have tried writing the redirect a few ways, all are ignored.. Redirect, RedirectMatch 301, redirectPermanent, etc.

I do have a lor of products as well, it would be good if I could do a wildcard for all /cgi-bin/commerce.cg*

Possibly?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

Redirect 301 /cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=A30-E https://resources.beststart.org/a30-e-risks-of-cannabis/
</IfModule>

Now this works for a wildcard

RedirectMatch 301 ^/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?.*$ https://resources.beststart.org

How can i also make that work for individual pages..

Maybe it has something to do with the directory it is pointing to for the cgi-bin ?

I am a little over my head at the moment but for symbolic links, Allow Override needs to be enabled. perishablepress.com/stupid-htaccess-tricks/#ess4

This may shed some light. Also, give it a little bit and someone smarter than me will be by with an answer.
