Google WebMaster
Recently changed my forum from www.example.com/forums to www.example.com but now in the google webmaster tools I have 3000+ urls not found as they are all urls not found from /forums dir as now we use the / dir. How do I get rid of all the urls not found? Thanks

did you set up a 301 in the forums dir?


simply place this in /forums/.htaccess

Code:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^!www\.domain\.com 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

this will take
domain.com/forums/t123
and send it to
domain.com/t123

I get a 403 forbidden error when I try to set this up and access to make sure it works.

You don't have permission to access /forums/ on this server.

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^!www\.domain\.com 
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
and replace "domain".com with "yoursite".com

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^www.domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

This seems to work good.
