Moving to /forum on domain

[Zyenet]

How exactly would I go about moving my forum to a /forum folder on my server?
I tried it, but it just kept giving PHP errors with the index. I also tried getting someone at phpbbinstallers to do it, but they didn't return my PMs.

I haven't tried this but go into the acp and under server settings there will be an option saying script path then change the value in that box to /forum then move all the files to the /forum directory and i think it might work.

As i said i have not tried this this so i don't know...

Is there a way to redirect all the forum URLs to the new one? I'm not worried about pagerank, but I posted links to topics on a lot of sites, and can't go back to change them.

Who is your host? Do they have Cpanel 11?

 

[Zyenet]

Yes, LunarPages.

 

[CyberFreak]

That is a no then... They say cpanel 11 but they don't have it.

Take a look here to see the redirect of cpanel 11... Wildcard redirects is what you need but Lunarpages don't have -


Cpanel 11 really looks like this... Not the crap that Lunarpages claim is Cpanel 11 -roll-

I only want the forum urls redirected. The seo is setup to virtual folder.
What I wanted is every topic in http://zyetendo.com/contests-f28/botm-1 ... -t344.html and such to redirect to http://zyetendo.com/forum/contests-f28/ ... -t344.html and for the rest of the forum, without a wild card, which would make the homepage useless.

Try htaccess? Off of the top of my head (not sure if it's right..)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forum/$1

 

[Zyenet]

Would that redirect everything or just the forum URLs like /contests-f28/?
If I wanted the whole thing redirected, I'd have left it in the root.
