301 redirect problem

[Shop Suey]

I would like to 301 redirect from a product page to my external blog

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=product_info&products_id=1176$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ https://www.example.com/blog/new-destination/$ [L,R=301]

Unfortunately it doesn't work. Here's the code which works internal in Zen-Cart:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=product_info&products_id=1176$
RewriteRule ^index.php$ https://www.example.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=251/? [L,R=301]

Can't tell if there is any part of your query that you want to keep on the uri or not, but this will redirect to whatever page/directory that is on the right side of the rewriterule and remove the main_page aspect/part.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=product_info&products_id=1176$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ https://www.example.com/blog/new-destination/$1? [R=301,L]

Thank you very much!

Doesn't take much to mess it up. Takes a small change to make it work, which means it takes just a small change to break it. :)
