  Redirect query string to root
  
  I have tried numerous variations of redirects, rewrites conditions and rules based on research and although I know I have a lot to learn with redirects, I am really struggling to figure out how to redirect a query string to my root directory :/
  I need to redirect http://www.stapletondenver.com/news/press_detail.asp?pressReleaseID=10 to http://www.stapletondenver.com
  Again, I've tried a few variations including below:
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^/news/press_detail.asp?pressReleaseID=10$
  RewriteRule (.*)  /?  [R=301,L]
  
  Am I on the right track and/or what am I doing wrong? All and any help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!
  
  A:
  
  Try:
  RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^pressReleaseID=10$
  RewriteRule ^/?news/press_detail\.asp$  /?  [R=301,L]
  
  The %{QUERY_STRING} variable is only the query string, not any part of the URI.
