Double Move of two sites on the same domain: How can I achieve this?

mod_rewrite, directory, redirect, 301

[dontforgetmario]

Hi,

I have a bit of a complex issue for me.

As frontend I had Wordpress and as community I have IPS in this way:

Wordpress:

http://mysite.com

IPS:

http://mysite.com/foro

I have migrated all pages and posts (articles) from wordpress to IPS and I have moved IPS to root directory so IPS is now the main landing web site when users go to

http://mysite.com

I have also moved wordpress to

http://mysite.com/web

So the thing is that many users will still use links to access wordpress Posts or IPS posts and Google will still send users to the old wordpress and IPB posts and articles, once the change has been made.

The directory

http://mysite.com/foro

still exists and a copy of all wordpress files are also in root except the index.php, which is now the index.php from IPS... just in case (I make all these changes last night)

As this is a double move of two websites... I'm very confused about what code I have to write on the .htaccess and if I need .htaccess also in the directories and how to apply a 301 redirect to make the URL changes permanent

This is my actual .htaccess code now on root:

# BEGIN IPS

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END IPS

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /web/
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /web/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

Any help on this will be deeply appreciated... thanks a lot...
Mario

Gosh, that boilerplate looks familiar. I think someone posted the identical code within the last 24 if not 12 hours. Don't be fooled by subject headers; look through the last few days of threads in this Forum.

Hi,

I'm more of a web designer, indie films type, so I didn't know what a .htaccess file was for until a couple of days ago :) after some internet research. Then I found this super foro.

If you could point me to the right dirección, I'll be happy to understand the stuff...

Thanks
Mario
