title: Using Mod_Rewrite in HTTPD.CONF file
body: <p>I want to rewrite URLs so when a user goes to;</p>
  
  <p><code>http://www.example.com/applications/newWeb/www/index.php?page=48&amp;thiscontent=2660&amp;date=2013-10-11&amp;pubType=0&amp;PublishTime=09:30:00&amp;from=home&amp;tabOption=1</code></p>
  
  <p>and if the URL contains <code>thiscontent=2660</code> (which in this example above, it does) I want to redirect them to;</p>
  
  <p><code>http://www.example.come/index.php/publications/finance-and-economics/departmental-resources</code></p>
  
  <p>I have about 30 different <code>thiscontent=XXXX</code> types and imagine I’ll have to copy and edit this rule 30 different times for any links to my old website still knocking around out there.</p>
  
  <p>I have access to my httpd.conf file but have never done a mod_rewrite before.</p>
  
  <p>I also don't really need these showing up in the error logs as 301s. Will that happen? Because at the moment there are hundreds!</p>
