Redirect the same URL's from old domain to new subdomain

Hi,

I would like to automatically redirect all URL's under the "forum" directory in my old domain to the same URL's in my new subdomain.

For example, olddomain.com/forum/topic1 will redirect automatically to subdomain.com/forum/topic1

Likewise, olddomain.com/forum/childforum/topic1 will redirect to subdomain.com/forum/childforum/topic1

The URL's will always be the same, but I want to do this only for those in the forum directory. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks!

    You can do the redirect by creating an .htaccess file and placing it in olddomain.com/forum/
    I'm making a lot of assumptions here such as: mod_rewrite is active and AllowOverride is on in your apache2 sites-available file. If you have shared hosting, it is a good bet that you are fine.

    The .htaccess file should look something like this:

    Code:
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://sub.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
    I'm not an .htaccess expert, but I believe that should work out for you.
