XF 1.3 Move Forum to Sub-domain

[ForexTalk]

Hello,

At the moment my forum at: https://www.MyWebsite.com/forum/

Now I want to move it to: https://www.Forum.MyWebsite.com/

Can you please give me some idea on this? or point me to some useful resource.

Thank you for your help.

The FAQ covers it - https://xenforo.com/community/threads/frequently-asked-questions.5183/#post-180455

Thanks, but I still a bit confuse about redirect rule.

I want to move from /forum/ to forum.mydomain.com. Which rule should I use?

Thanks

Are you using shared hosting or a VPS/dedicated server? Either way, you'd need to assign the subdomain to the document root, and then change the domain on the software. It's not really a rewrite, unless you want to forward everything from /forum/ to forum.example.com/

I'm on dedicated server and yes, I would like to redirect everything from /forum/ to forum.example.com because there have a lot of posts and threads already. Unfortunately, the FAQ does not cover this type of redirect. Can you please help me out?

Thanks.

Can someone please give me some information on this?

In a .htaccess file in the root:

RedirectMatch 301 ^/forum/(.*)$ http://forum.website.com/$1

Adjust the paths/URLs to suit.
