babe in the woods with htaccess...

I recently moved my forums from a subdomain to a folder in the root.

Rather than getting 404 errors for all of my old forum posts, I would like them to forward to the same post, just with a different url due to the move.

Old URL

http://forums.mysite.com/member.php?u=1

Resolve to

http://www.mysite.com/Forums/member.php?u=1


I have never really messed with htaccess, so I am unsure of how it is done.

Where should I add this .htaccess? to the mysite.com/Forum folder or to the root?

Does anyone have any advice?

Thanks


Nintendo, that is a great tutorial you wrote, didnt pick up on everything, but will reread.

 

See if that works.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.mysite.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.mysite.com/Forums/$1 [L,R=301]

Code (markup):

 

thanks, I will give it a shot.
