Changing all URLs.

I have a forum - domain.com
I want to change every single URL(domain.com/index, domain.com/newthread, etc.) to website.com

How do I do this?

 

Can you explain more please ? Are you trying to re-direct to a different domain ? Chances are there is a htaccess hack.

 

Yah, I want to redirect it to another domain but I want all the links to change as well.

 

You want to move the complete forum script and db to another domain?

 

I'm not sure. I just want all the URLs to change from domain.com to website.com

 

Why not just 301 redirect the old domain?

 

Ok, how do you do that?

 

I still dont understand what you want to do. Are you throwing away the old domain? Are you installing the script and the database on the new domain?

 

Let me find it.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.domain.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.newdomain.com [R=301,L]


All that should go in .htaccess on an apache server.

Domain.com = old domain
New domain = new domain

 

Thanks. Works great for redirecting but do the URLs change?

 

Ok I did that and as I expected, it only redirects.

Can anyone actually help me do what I'm asking?

I don't want a simple redirection, I want to change every URL in the site from "domain.com" to "website.com".

More clarification:

I don't just want website.com to go to domain.com when I type website.com into my address bar. I want every single URL on the site(forum) to switch from domain.com to website.com

Even More Clarification:

http://www.domain.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1 >> http://www.website.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1

http://www.domain.com/member.php?u=1 >> http://www.website.com/member.php?u=1

 

Al right.
You want to abandon domain.com and start to use website.com instead.
In short, what you have to do is to install the forum script on the new domain, then let the forum call the database from the old domain.

 

Is that automatic or do I need to do something?

 

Are you using the same hosting account (same server)?

 

No. It's hosted with another company.

 

Then you have to export your database and then import it to the new server. Try to search google for "move site" "move forum" "move database" or something like that.

 

i think you mean that some forum posts contain urls to other posts in the same forum.
if so, an sql query may make those changes for you.

 

Have you tried to PM Nintendo and ask him about this? He's a pretty good expert with .htaccess

 

No, that's not what I mean.

Anyway, I'll try login's thing.

 

I'm not sure but isn't there option in the admin panel to change you url? lol
Like even wordpress has this in the admin section. Only thing is if you do a typo or something then your screwed. and you'll have to edit the URL table DB in mysql with phpmyadmin (if your lucky)
