Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.mysite.com/forum.php

There are most likely other ways to do this, I just threw a few examples out there

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction, i found and edited the already included index.php
this made it so if www.mysite.com is posted, I get redirected to /forum.php

now, this brings a new question if a user is to type: mysite.com without the www. prefix the same problem is occurring how do i fix this?
