I know how to change it to another directory but I wanted get some information on it.
We are building our own site on the main domain and want to move the forum into a /community directory. But I don't want to break all our existing links, and I have my .httaccess that removes the www. which is
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} www.orojackson.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://orojackson.com/$1 [R=301,L]
If I add that to the httaccess on the main directory it should work for the forum as well right? (removing the www.).
So how can I avoid breaking the older links temporarily at least until google index's the new URL's and until we internally fix all the url's linking to other important internal pages.
Note: We will be using a splashscreen "Coming Soon" on http://orojackson.com, so we don't want that to redirect to http://orojackson/community apart from that all the old links I want it to redirect to the new ones for some time. Is that possible?
