XF 1.1 help me with .htaccess

[Member 3639]

Okay i will be moving my xenforo to /forum instead of the root directory, can someone help me with .htaccess to send anyone over there, so if someone hits say http://www.gamingonlinux.com/index.php?threads/amnesia-2-years-down-the-road.1025/

They would go to that but /forum ?

That should do it:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.your-domaine.tld/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /forum/ [R,L]

Will that make any page they tried to access go to whatever they want /forum?

Just give it a try, I currently cannot test it.

This should do it (in a .htaccess file in the web root):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^index\.php http://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/index.php [R=301,L]

Or if you intend to upload a different index.php to the web root then use this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^$
RewriteRule ^index\.php http://www.gamingonlinux.com/forum/index.php [R=301,L]

That will redirect all old index.php URLs (index.php?SOMETHING) except for plain old "index.php"

Ok , what if I move the site from /forum to root ?

Place this in a .htaccess file in /forum to redirect all old URLs:

Redirect 301 /forum/ /
