Sennadar Forums

Darn, I keep getting ... URL not in existence. I got to find another way in and found this instead. Great new looks although I am still feeling my way round it.

HAPPY Father's Day to all the guys with kids.

I've fixed the URL on the sennadar.com site - for some reason, no matter what I do, I can't get a .htaccess rule to redirect "http://sennadar.com/forum", however it will redirect "http://sennadar.com/forum/" (note the slash)

Hi Spec,

No prob, just highlighting the problem. I am a dumbo when it comes to such problem meself. HAd to call administrator.

Spec, if all else fails, try to create a FILE (not a directory) with the name "forum" and put in a redirection code there. Not the cleanest solution, but it should be failsafe.

That doesn't work - because there is a directory which has the .htaccess doing the main redirects, and (atleast, via FTP) it won't let me create a file with the same name as the directory.

Rename the forum directory. Then you can create the file with the redirect.

See what's happening at the moment with "/forum"? its appending the path of the actual directory - "/home/sennadar_domain/sennadar.plebian.net/forum", and sending them on to forums.sennadar.com.

Which isn't exactly what I wanted.

Rename the forum directory. Then you can create the file with the redirect.

And then my other redirection (for links to http://sennadar.com/forum/etcetc") wont exist... so, no...

Can you give me the rule you're using to redirect in the .htaccess file? It should be possible to move that up a level, but I'd have to see how you're doing it to say.
