Change vbulletin installation directory

[strudinox]

When I first installed Vbulletin I threw all the content into the /main directory after my web root. So my url looks like http://url.com/main/content.php. I want a very SEO friendly way of moving all the content out of the /main folder, into the / folder so my urls look something like http://url.com/content.php. I'm thinking the only way is to do a 301 redirect using the .htaccess folder, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it.

Am I on the right track? Thanks!

And you would also obviously have to move the files to the new directory and change the settings in your vBulletin Options in your AdminCP for "Site Name / URL / Contact Details"

Thanks for the info HMBeaty. I think my issue is, how would I create an htaccess file that would redirect every old page to the new page?

Would something like this work for Vbulletin?

RedirectMatch 301 /main/(.*) //$
