Redirecting using htaccess

[AndreaMarucci]

My old forum was in the dir www.domain.com/forum and the new one is under forum.domain.com.

Can someone help me with an htaccess that redirect all the users pointing to www.domain.com/forum (with all the url under this one like http://www.domain.com/forum/threads/xyz) to the new domain?

I would like also, if possible, to have access to that directory only with my ip address (static one).

Many thanks

Use this code:

Redirect 301 /forum http://forum.domain.com

That should do it.

Could be but I cannot see any reference to my IP address. That way I cannot access the old forum...

Here is additional code to white list your IP:

allow from 123.123.123.123
deny from all

Sorry but does not work...

I just tested it and it worked for me.

Are you getting any specific errors? What is happening?
