Should work with something like : RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)$ http://forums.1stsearchenginerankings.com/$1 [L,R=301] Try : RewriteRule ^forums/(.*) http://forums.1stsearchenginerankings.com/$1 [L,R=301] just in case, after rewrite engine is on of course. ++ Tried both as directed and both ret...

I am using:

Code: Select all

RedirectMatch permanent ^/forums/(.*)$ http://forums.1stsearchenginerankings.com/$1

Sorry I messed up on the last post :P This is what I meant: Okay I used the first example and it gave 404 as usual... I tried the second and it worked... sort of.

Okay I used the first example and it gave 404 as usual... I tried the second and it worked... sort of. A request for: http://forums.1stsearchenginerankings.com/general-discussion-f1.html did bring up the appropriate page however somehow this got added to the end of the url: ?f=1 so it returns: http:...

BTW I left RedirectMatch permanent ^/forums http://forums.1stsearchenginerankings.com/$1 in the .htaccess- was I supposed to remove that?

Well I took it off because it wasn't working and while it was on it screwed up the folder option too.

I would be happy to give a link. Please tell me how I can do this for just the home page, I tried a normal ahref link but it didn't show up.

It didn't work. when I do what you say it looks right but when I click a board it gives 404.

I got everything working. Now I want to redirect my forums from domain.com/forums to forums.domain.com I tried the following: RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(www\.)?domain\.com$ RewriteRule ^forums/(.*) http://forums.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L] But it didn't work.
