Noob question:
I have a linux host with Apache, I'd like to make http://forum.myhost.com to redirect to http://www.myhost.com/forum
I'm pretty much sure that it works with mod_rewrite but that seems to be a whole new programming language to me rather than a few parameters. Would anyone be so kind to explain me how to do?
Thanks in advance.
You could try:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum\.yourhost\.tld [NC]
RewriteRule ^/?(.*) http://yourhost\.tld/forum/$1 [R=301,L]Meaning "if the host is forum.yourhost.tld (caseless), then rewrite to yourhost.tld/forum/ and add the rest of the URL behind it. And Send a HTTP Redirected Permanently code, so that various UA and bots know it has moved.
Thanks Jérémie for the help, yet firefox doesn't seem to find the host.
It returns "Server not found".
Link?
http://forum.thesk.net/ (which should point to http://www.thesk.net/forum/
Here's what I use for punbb.org:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.punbb.org$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://punbb.org/$1 [R=301,L]There must be something in the Apache configuration that prevents that since it does not work. Anyhow thanks a lot guys for the help.
Are you sure mod_rewrite is enabled on the server at all? Check if mod_rewrite is in the loaded modules list for apache when you do a phpinfo().
Well, it seems there's no DNS record for this subdomain. It has to exist and be handled by Apache before any rewrite rule can be applied.
C:\>curl -I http://forum.thesk.net
curl: (6) Could not resolve host: forum.thesk.net; Host not foundAre you sure mod_rewrite is enabled on the server at all? Check if mod_rewrite is in the loaded modules list for apache when you do a phpinfo().
There's not a single entry for Apache in the phpinfo, that might be the reason.
Jérémie's issue is the more important one
Oh right, thanks for that Jérémie but it's something I have no idea how to do.
Ask your hosting company.
But I might say, if the forum. subdomain doesn't exist, why create it only to redirect it elsewhere?

Just because I thought it would look better. Silly reasons though.
Then why not move your /forum/ to forum. ?

Didn't think of that, thanks, I'll give it a try.
