mod rewrite directory

mod rewrite a directory

[mhamdi]

I want to redirect
www.example.com/forums/* to www.example.com/
for example www.example.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=30 to www.example.com/

I did this:
RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/ [R=301,L]

It works "fine" but instead of being redirected to www.example.com/ It is redirecting to www.example.com/?f=30 for the example above.

any suggestions?

Add a question mark to the substitution URL to clear the query string:

RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST[b]}/?[/b] [R=301,L]

This is documented in the notes in the RewriteRule documentation [httpd.apache.org].
