htacess redirection question

    Hey guys,

    Sorry for such a noobies question - I would classes myself as knowledgeable in these kinds of area, but not when it comes to htacess.

    I am using the following htacess within a site:-

    Redirect 301 /folder http://www.site.com/

    But what its not doing is redirecting urls such as

    www.site.com/folder/images/index.html

    As the root does not work (all files moved)

    is there a was to make anything that has been put after /forum/ to redirect to the top level domain?

    RedirectMatch 301 /folder(.*) http://www.site.com/$1
    Code (markup):

    Hey,

    I have used that code but what is does is:-

    Redirects the /folder

    But if I go to /forum/images/index.html (which no longer exists)

    it redirects me to www.mysite.com/images/index.html

    Thanks

    Dan

    Just append ErrorDocument 404 /"desired file|folder "
    OR
    place a separate .htaccess in /forum/ which will handle this.
