I’m trying to redirect a URL:

www.example.com/content.aspx?ID=2&ParentID=60&MicrositeID=0&Page=1

to

www.example.com/products

My rewriteCond looks like this (I’m using MODx as a CMS)

# For Friendly URLs
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

Redirect 301 /content.aspx?ID=60&ParentID=0&MicrositeID=0&Page=1 http://www.example.co.uk/products

Does anyone have any idea how specify a rewrite rule for a url with so many question marks, ampersands and parameters in it? I probably need to do rewrite rules for everything, not just simple redirects?

You can try the following:

RewriteRule ^content.aspx?ID=2&ParentID=60&MicrositeID=0&Page=1 /products [R=301,L]

Friendly URLs part

# The Friendly URLs part
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?q=$1 [L,QSA]

I used the spreadsheet here: http://www.mbstrategic.com/02/301-redirects-for-dynamic-urls-to-static-pages-with-htaccess/

Your code would be:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^ID=2&ParentID=60&MicrositeID=0&Page=1$
RewriteRule ^content.aspx$ www.example.com/products? [R=301,L]
