HTAccess?

[Recursion]

Hello,

What code would I put in a .htaccess file to redirect www.DOMAIN.tld/forum (http://www.DOMAIN.tld/forum) to www.forum.DOMAIN.tld (http://www.forum.DOMAIN.tld) ?

Thanks
Tom

Create a .htaccess file with the code below. The .htaccess file needs to be in your root directory preferably where your index page is


Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.NEWDOMAIN.COM/$1 [R=301,L]

change NEWDOMAIN.COM with your new domain you wish to link to.

This method only works on linux servers tho.

DUB's code is best.

If you cannot get the .htaccess code to work try this:

Make a file called index.html in the /forum directory and add this line in your head.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=www.forum.DOMAIN.tld">

that isn't what he's asking though. .htaccess is much more efficient

What exactly you after :P set up a subdomain so its still got all the files n shizzle so like set it up as forum.domain.tld which then goes into domain.tld/forum
