Quick htaccess question

[pewa]

Hi,

I have moved my forum from 'domain.com/forum' to only 'domain.com'. The URL structure is the same besides that.

How do I redirect(301) all traffic using htaccess? What to write and where to put the file.

Thanks!

This seems to work:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Placed in public_html root

To redirect the entire site, place the .htaccess file at the root of your web folder.

Redirect 301 / http://newsite.com/

Ok, does it matter if I do It like that or like my example above?

I recommend using the one you use now as it will also redirect the user to the proper URL without "/forum".
