    Hi,

    I have a little "situation" that I can't resolve.

    Let's say I have a site X.com. Now, on that site there is a forum, which is on a subdomain (forum.x.com). Now, that forum has thousands of pages, but they are all going to be taken down. Is there a way to do a 301 redirect of ALL pages that are under forum.x.com/* ? It would be too much to do it one by one.

    I will rep anyone who can offer a solution.

    Thanks,
    dmi

    Yes, it is possible. Just add following code in your .htaccess file present in your root directory:

    rewritecond %{http_host} ^forum.x.com [nc]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://NEW_WEB_SITE_URL/$1 [r=301,nc]

    Thank you very much. How about the code for redirect everything from x.com/something ? Is it like this?

    rewritecond %{http_host} ^x.com/something [nc]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://NEW_WEB_SITE_URL/$1 [r=301,nc]

    ?
