god! pls help me about .htaccess

hi all,

is there anyone here who knows how to change some urls as i want? i moved my documents from "/forums" folder to the root and when i search something on google i still see documents in "forums" so i gotta change something on .htaccess. what can i do redirect some requirements from www.xx.com/forums/anyurls to www.xx.com/anyurls ?

 

Use RewriteRule and mod_rewrite.

 

thanks god, i called you and you came here, you signed up and you answered but i already knew i must write some rewrite rules but i dont know how...

RewriteRule ??? /forums/??? [??]

 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule "^forums/(.*)$" "$1" [QSA,L]
#Amen

 

this is the treu way;

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^websiteurl.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.websiteurl.com$
RewriteRule ^forums/?(.*)$ "http\:\/\/www\.websiteurl\.com\/$1" [R=301,L]

 

better use 301 redirection
