htaccess redirect for cgi-bin url

suarve · 30 Sep 2010 at 15:55

Hi,

I have an url as follows:

http://www.site.com/cgi-bin/ss000002.pl?SECTIONID=some_page.html&NOLOGIN=1

Can anyone suggest how I redirect this to a new url - 301 redirects with htaccess are usually easy, it's just that the cgi-bing part seems to be causinmg problems.

I've tried the following without luck:

Redirect 301 /cgi-bin/ss000002.pl?SECTIONID=some_page.html&NOLOGIN=1 http://www.newsite.co.uk/c/my-category-85.php

Any ideas?

Thanks

Fixed! Needed to the htaccess file in the cgi-bin directory!

I thought the htaccess at the root of the site controls all the commands for that site?

What infrastructure are you on, I'm using IIS6 with ISAPIrewrite3 to control htaccess.
