Any way to keep old links working?

Hello! I have a question. Right now my forums are in /forum directory. I'd like to put it into one root directory, with changed index.php to forum.php. Is there a way to keep old spidered links to keep working?

Yes, by using .htaccess redirection techniques, search on Google, there are billions of tutorials.

Here is what works for me in a .htaccess

Code:

RewriteEngine on

# index.php to /

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /.*index\.php\ HTTP/

RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.php$ /$1 [R=301,L]
