XF 1.5 Redirect Help Please

[Joeychgo]

I imported across from vBulletin 4

I've completed the process up to 'Redirecting URLs'.

I followed the advice of Import Redirection.

I downloaded/installed vBulletin 4.x URL Redirection

The big problem I have right now is that http://www.forfmjbodiesonly.com/classicmopar/forum.php doesn't seem to want to go to http://www.forfmjbodiesonly.com/classicmopar/

Can anyone help?

Honestly I'm pretty sure one of the above should have worked so there may be some other factor at play.

This will work though.

Create a file named forum.php and upload it to the relevant location. That file should contain:

<?php

header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
header('Location: http://www.forfmjbodiesonly.com/classicmopar');
exit;

?>

Yes that worked.

As far as the htaccess....
I tried disabling all addons, that didn't change anything.

Is there some reason this is better or worse then the htaccess method?

No it does the same thing. The only difference is that it goes a bit further in the process as PHP is called but ultimately that doesn't matter.
