Redirect some pages

[quick1]

i want to redirect these pages
http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=page_1
http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=page_2
http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=page_3
...
to the page
http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=about_us

PS: i'm running zen cart 1.50 + seo mod, the urls are look like this http://www.site.com/page_1, http://www.site.com/about_us

i tried
redirect 301 http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=page_1 http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=about_us
or
redirect 301 http://www.site.com/page_1 http://www.site.com/about_us
or
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.site.com$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=page_1$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^/index\.php$ http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=about_us [R=301,NE,NC,L]

all of them don't work

is there any way to redirect these pages?

Just turn off those pages

[quick1]

what do i turn off them?

do you mean from admin define page status? but i have already set to Link OFF, Define Text OFF

but if i enter the url http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=page_1, it still goes to this page

i used to use these pages to introduce sth, now i don't want to use them anymore, but many visitors go to those pages, then i want to redirect them

[quick1]

what i want is not only turn off the text and link in sidebox, but also turn off these pages, i want to redirect these pages to about_us

i thought perhaps i could redirect them by modifying the hearder_php file or tpl file, but i have a lot of define pages to redirect, i guess it's better add the 301 redirect to .htaccess ?

This redirect in .htaccess would probably work (since you said you're already using rewritten URLs):

redirect 301 /page_1 http://www.site.com/index.php?main_page=about_us

i have a lot of define pages to redirect

What's the history behind suddenly needing to redirect a lot of pages?
