How to 301 Redirect /oldforum to /newforum on new domain

[NyahK]

Hello,

I am trying to accomplish two things:

1. Redirect http://www.example.com/oldforum to http: // www. newsite .com /newforum

2. All other requests not related to the /oldforum should redirect the new site's root (http://www.newsite.com/)

Can somebody please help me out? I'm really confused.

Thank you!

Well, what have you tried so far?

Psst! If you need to name more than one site, you can say example.org, example.no, example.se and so on.

All other requests not related to the /oldforum should redirect the new site's root

Are you absolutely positive that this is the approach you want to take? How many URLs are we talking about? If you're simply shutting down the old site, wouldn't a special "It ain't here no more" page be more appropriate?

RewriteRule ^oldforum(/(.*))?$ http://www.example.com/newforum/$2 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule .* http://www.example.com/ [R=301,L]

Pattern

^oldforum(/(.*))?$

can be

^oldforum(/.*)?$

if you adjust target

/$2

to

$1
