301 redirect htaccess help

for some reason i cannot get 301 redirect to work.

im trying to get a zencart page to redirect to the new opencart page.
im using htaccess:

Redirect 301 /fabricfolder/wadding-ezp-23 http://mydomain.co.uk/fabricfolder/wadding.html
im getting a 404 error as its redirecting to the correct page but adding ?_route_=wadding-ezp-23 to the end of the url

ive read so many pages online for doing the 301's but im completely lost now.
got about a million 404 links i need to get through.

Have you tried creating your 301 redirect with your c-panel tool? Mine is located under the heading "Domains."

Looks like you are re-directing to URL which is already re-directed . Instead try to re-direct to original/default OC url


Redirect 301 /fabricfolder/wadding-ezp-23 http://mydomain.co.uk/fabricfolder/wadding.html try to redirect it to opencart default url for examples
store.com/index.php?route= =product/category&path=20
store.com/index.php?route= product/product&path=20&product_id=42
store.com/index.php?route= product/product&product_id=40
Sample example :
/fabricfolder/wadding-ezp-23 http://mydomain.co.uk/index.php?route=p ... duct_id=40
