HTAccess?

Hello,

What code would I put in a .htaccess file to redirect www.DOMAIN.tld/forum to 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

Code:

---

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.

then its abit rubbish ^^ lol.

use cpanel redirect page, does it for you.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

PHP Code:

---

<?
header("Location: http://bob.com");
?>

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.

Code:

---

<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
