 Posted: Fri Jan 11, 2008 2:26 pm Post subject: Board migrated to subfolder |
|
|
hey,
I moved my board from my root folder to a subfolder named /community. Is there a way to redirect every visitor to the subfolder? I have done it the other way with a htaccess:
Redirect /board http://www.roqbar.de/
which redirected every visit from the subfolder to the root, but
Redirect / http://www.roqbar.de/community
doesn't work..Anyone an idea? |

Before you do so, you should think well, especially if you did it the other way around recently.
You should not redirect all your forum too often, could end up confusing SEs.
Then, it depends on if you do this to add new pages at the root level or if you only want (but this would not be a good idea SEO wise) to move the forum.
The problem redirecting this way is you cannot redirect all the call to the root to the forum dir if you want to still be able to use the root level for other pages.
A solution would be to redirect more accurately, using the forums rewriterules.
Knowing this, please confirm your wish, and if you still want to, post your .htaccess here, and I'll tell you how to proceed.

I'm thinking about a bridge for phpbb, maybe with drupal oder lotus core (which is down atm) because I won't do that now, I thought to redirect the forum links, so that google can index everything. So long I can't use the root, which doesn't matter, because I want to wait with a cms anyway  If redirecting and using the root can be done it would be perfect Currently the forum is still in the root. The htaccess is:

<Files "common.php">

This .htaccess will do it :
| Code: | # Lines That should already be in your .htacess
<Files "config.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Files>
<Files "common.php">
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All

I moved the www prefix redirection at a better place, and only kept the second set, since it's enough for all cases for your setup.
You will need to run this .htaccess at the root level to be able to catch the previous URI from this level. This means that the virtual root option could be a solution, you'd keep the same urls for the forum, but it would be installed in a sub dir. Because you'll still need to merge the phpBB's .htaccess with the eventual other one form other application if you move phpBB.
Then, you'll have to replace new_dir/ with the actual dir you elected. All I did was to conditionally add the path in the left part of the rewriterule ( (new_dir/)? ) so that both new_dir/url and url will hit the proper script, the zero duplicate doing the rest.
Path is added the regular way in the right part of the rewriterules, but the conditional firt one requires that we add +1 to the var name sent to the script, eg :
| Code: | | /memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&un=$1 [QSA,L,NC] |
vs
| Code: | | /new_dir/memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&un=$2 [QSA,L,NC] |
To test this, you can first copy phpBB to the new dir and validate the .htaccess, and then, delete the files at the root level. You'll have to update phpBB config for th new script path as well.

Thx a lot, I will test this when I finally migrate to a subfolder, first I'm going to use a portal until the drupal bridge will become more stable.
