Sorry for my English.
I know a similiar issue was actually discussed here, but not precisely this one (I think so, if it was then forgive me).
Well, I have a domain let's say www.domain.com. It's a new domain, recently got PR 3. Thing is, from this domain there is an url to www.domain.com/forum. The problem is, that the php script being there redirects this to domain.com/forum. And it seems I can't change it or don't know how.
Anyway, googlebot doesn't index the forum at domain.com/forum and I am wondering if this may be caused by this redirection.
I've heard so many theories about Google and redirections, so still I know nothing. I have another problem in this matter: most pages links to www.domain.com/subdir/index.htm. That's my fault, I didn't think, it should be www.domain.com/subdir/ now I want to slowly move to php, so the simplest idea is to create index.php, and redirect index.htm to this php file. But.. what about Google? Will it cause any bad consequences?

I resolved the problem myself, it was not about www issue, but Session IDs added to each URL, which Google don't like probably. Removed this ID's in case Googlebot enters the website, and got indexed in the next day:)
