pagerank leak not solved by vbseo?

I have a problem. vBseo solved the /index.php leak for forumhome. But there is another huge pagerank leak on our site.

We changed the domain for the board from

PHP Code:

http://www.mydomain.com/forum/    [OLD URL] 


to

PHP Code:

http://forum.mydomain.com/     [NEW URL] 


So we want it to be as a subdomain of the site. But the old url is still accessable, because the subdomain map 'forum' is there.

How can we get vbseo to safely redirect the old URL to the new subdomain, without losing pagerank please?

Thank you.

Hello,

you can use the following rewrite rule at the top of your .htaccess in forum/ folder (right after "RewriteEngine on" line):

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

ah, thanks

Oleg I tried to use this in the HTTPD file but it doesn't seem to work?

Hello Tijl,

did you restarted apache? Is it working when entered n .htaccess file?

I did restart apache. Didn't try it in htaccess, need to clean out the httpd to test that. I will get back to you.

I've tested it and it works perfect in the htaccess file...

Great! PM sent regarding httpd.conf.
