Move/Redirect Forum to a new domain

Hi
I have moved my forum to my new domain name, and I'd like to redirect the old forum to the new one. How can I do this?
Old Forum URL: olddomain.com/oldforum/
New Forum URL: newdomain.com/newforum/
Thanks in advance

 

Search this forum for how to do that with your .htaccess file (if you are on Apache)

 

thanks exam, but searching the forum didn't help. I did a basic 301 redirect, but it only redirects the home page of the forum, not sub pages

anybody can help?

 

You can use mod_rewrite in Apache to redirect all your old urls to the new ones. I'm not an expert on mod_rewrite but there have been lots of helpful threads here on it.

 

I'm not an expert neither, if you read my message again, you'll see that I've tried a 301 redirect, but it only redirects the home page. I want to redirect the whole forum.

Can anybody else help?

 

OK, I looked up some of my reference materials. Try putting this in your .htaccess file in the root directory of your old site.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> 
RewriteEngine On
# RewriteBase / 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.new.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule> 

Code (markup):

I'm not sure if the RewriteBase line is necessary. Right now it's commented out, if it doesn't work like that, remove the # sign. Also, replace www.new.com with your new domain name.
