|

Hello,
I found this great site full of great SEO info tonight, and decided I wanted to try and implement one of the mod rewrites on my forum. First, however, the instructions suggested that I be sure to make sure I had some code in my .htaccess that would always redirect mysite.com to -www.mysite.com. Well, the code went perfectly...but it also got me thinking. I have a subdomain set up with my host (through the cpanel) so that everything at -www.mysite.com/forum can also be reached from forum.mysite.com. Well, after realizing that those duplicates from mysite.com could hurt my page rankings by doubling the content of -www.mysite.com, I also realized that I need to find a way to make -www.mysite.com/forum always rewrite to forum.mysite.com.
How do I do this? |

A sub domain is to be considered the same as a main domain as far as phpBB settings and .htaccess.
So to redirect -www.mysite.com/forum to forum.mysite.com, you'd need to implement the www prefix redirection (method n°2) for the sub domain, something like :
| Code: | RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^forum\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(forum/)?(.*)$ http://forum.example.com/$2 [QSA,L,R=301] |
I just added the forum path that could be passed from the main domain to filter it properly.
