Best way to redirect 1 url to homepage - I removed Xenporta..

surfsup

Well-known member
I just removed Xenporta today and I had it up for a couple months, but whats the best way to redirect this url as it was setup like this below..

example:
myforum.com - xenporta
myforum.com/forum - forum home

Now that I disabled Xenporta the myforum.com/forum doesnt redirect to myforum.com

So whats the best way I should redirect this /forum to myforum.com ?
 
This addon will work:

http://xenforo.com/community/resources/route-changer.447/

You would use this mapping:

forum -> index

Or you can add a rewriterule to your .htaccess file:

Rich (BB code):
#	Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
#	cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
#	SecFilterEngine Off
#	SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine On

	RewriteRule ^forum/$ http://www.yoursite.com/ [R=301,L]

	#	If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
	#	line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
	#	of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
	#RewriteBase /xenforo

	#	This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
	#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
	RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
	RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
	RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>
