Url Forwading???

Hi,

I know this may be fricking tool-ish yet...

I have a domain. http://www.such-as-such.com yet i only have a forum upto now, and I want to point my users to my forum, which is http://www.such-as-such.com/forum/phpbb2...

I aint sure how to do this, is this web hosting side or what???

One way to do this would be to add the following line to the .htaccess file in your root web directory:

Redirect 301 / http://www.such-as-such.com/forum/phpbb2...

Could you ellaborate a little further please, as i am quite new to this..

Sure, sorry about that.

In your web directory edit, or create if not already present, the file named .htaccess. Add the line



This will create a permanent redirect from http://www.such-as-such.com (or /) to http://www.such-as-such.com/forum/phpbb2...

When someone accesses http://www.such-as-such.com they will be redirected or sent to http://www.such-as-such.com/forum/phpbb2....

Here is a link I found on google regarding using .htaccess and reditects.
