    trouble with 301 redirect from /forum to root

    I needed to move my vB installation from the /forum subdirectory into root, and am having a devil of a time with the 301 redirect. I've tried a few different versions and none have worked, and most of the existing help pages are about redirecting static content. What's the correct way to do this?

    Just move all your files to root and change the path in admincp.

    Add this below RewriteEngine On in .htaccess

    RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
