XF 1.2 From folder with subdomain to root

[Sheratan]

So I had XF installed in /forum folder, with subdomain forum.domain.com

Is there any .htaccess redirect rules if I wanted to move XF to root? So any forum.domain.com/thread and /posts and the other will be redirected to domain.com/forum (root, not folder)

Thank you.

So what will be the new URL for the site once you have moved it?

domain.com/forum/ (like XF is xenforo.com/community/)
or just domain.com

 

[Sheratan]

I'm planning to use some portal add-on, so my xf forum will be domain.com/forum

I'm planning to use some portal add-on, so my xf forum will be domain.com/forum

and it was previously in the document root on the subdomain?

 

[Sheratan]

Yes.

Right now my XF forum is inside a folder, /forum folder, with a forum.domain.com subdomain.

I wanted to move all xf forum to root, with portal as index and forum as /forum route, and add some redirect rules so I don't lose any forum.domain.com link

 

[MattW]

Ok, so this:

http://forum.komikanimasi.web.id/

to this:

http://komikanimasi.web.id/

Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be clear on what is wanting to be done before making a recommendation.

Portal as index route shouldn't make a difference to the forums or threads as far as I know

 

[Sheratan]

That's right.

http://komikanimasi.web.id/forum <-- route, not folder.

 

[MattW]

I think you should be OK with just redirecting the subdomain to the main domain.

Not sure if @Jake Bunce can clear things up though.

 

[MattW]

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.komikanimasi.web.id
        RewriteRule (.*) http://komikanimasi.web.id/$1 [R=301,L]

That should do the subdomain to main domain.

 

[Jake Bunce]

Not sure if that's greedy or not. I would use this to be sure:

        RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.komikanimasi\.web\.id$
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://komikanimasi.web.id/$1 [R=301,L]

Sorry for asking again. I need to put that rules inside htaccess /forum folder or inside htaccess root?

 

[Jake Bunce]

Sorry for asking again. I need to put that rules inside htaccess /forum folder or inside htaccess root?

Inside of the .htaccess in the /forum folder, right after RewriteEngine On
