Thanks for replying, Dcz.

Yes, perhaps it's harder for the forum, but it's easier for my other web sites and my pocket. I just leave the two separate domains on two web hosts for now because of limited time (too busy with studies) and resources (money, web space, bandwidth, etc).

I added the code into my .htaccess at the root of my old domain treatwidevision.us at the old web host. So now the top of that .htaccess at the root of the old domain treatwidevision.us looks like this:

Code: Select all

# You could need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.treatwidevision\.us/forum [NC] [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^treatwidevision\.us/forum [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.tvseriesmusic.com/forums/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

Question 1a:
Do I delete
# You could need to un-comment the following line
# Options +FollowSymlinks
at the top of that .htaccess file in the old host?


Question 1b:

Do I delete all of the code lines including and below
RewriteBase /

in my .htaccess at the old domain treatwidevision.us at the old web host? What to do with them?

Thanks.

Code: Select all

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.treatwidevision\.us/forum [NC] [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^treatwidevision\.us/forum [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*) http://www.tvseriesmusic.com/forums/$1 [QSA,L,R=301]

Could do it in the old web space.
