Moving To A Subfolder without Moving Homepage

Hi

i have a forum with several thousand indexed pages which ranks quite well.

i now have the need to move this to domain.com/forum as i want to expand the main domain to be more than just a forum.

i know how to do a 301 for the entire site but i dont want to redirect domain.com to domain.com/forum

so basicaly the index page needs to remian where it is but every other existing page needs to be 301 redirected to /forum

and i dont really want to write them out manuall :-) plz hlp

I look forward to your replies

Thanks

What code are you using to redirect everything else?

You can try this code:



This says if the requested url is your root index "/" then do nothing and skip the next rewriterule block. For all urls other than "/" they will be redirected. Nice huh? :)

I took the answer from the article Rewriting blog index.php to root
