Why would I be getting these errors?
Hi all

I just moved my forums from a subdirectory back to the domain root. I have a .htaccess file where the forums used to be to redirect browsers back to the homepage and that seems to be working well.

However, in my error logs (cpanel) I am now seeing a ton of these:

Code:
File does not exist: /home/*******/public_html/forums/ascf-sedans
as of course the forums directory is now empty. I am assuming Google etc have these somewhere (maybe?), so my question is - what do I need to adjust to make these go away?

Oh, and of course the "ascf-sedans" part is just one example, the are a whole bunch of different ones.

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Bruce

You can do this to redirect all of the old traffic to the new URL: Changing Domains: Directing Old Site to the New Site with htaccess

Hi Micheal
I tried putting what you have into my .htaccess and it results in this:

[code]
http://australianspeedway.com//home/******/public_html/forums
[/quote]

when attempting to browse to the old site root.

What code did you put in it exactly?

Please note that that .htaccess should be in this directory: /home/******/public_html/forums

I copied and pasted the exact code from your post, changed domain.com to australianspeedway.com and saved.

Something is dodgy it seems. I put what I had back in and it now goes to the dir root instead of the site root, you know "Parent Directory, cgi-bin" etc. This is what I put in

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^forums(.*)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
Cheers
Bruce

What do you mean the dir root?

What if you try something like:

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^forums/(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]
RewriteRule ^forums(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R=301,NC,L]

Sorry, I meant it displays a listing of what is in the directory "forums" instead of redirecting to australianspeedway.com

I'll try that and see what happens
