Make index.php file with code:

<?phpheader ("Location: domain.com/forums/;?>

or make index.html (or index.htm) with code:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="2;url=domain.com/forums/">

where 2 denotes the time in seconds before it directs. Nice if you want to show a message "you're being redirected to another page in X seconds"

You can use .htaccess to achieve this while pleasing the Search Engines as well.

Create a file (if it doesnt already exist) called .htaccess and add the following code to the .htaccess file and then place the .htaccess file in your public_html folder.

Options +FollowSymlinksRewriteEngine onrewriterule ^domain.com; [url=domain.com/forum/; [r=301,nc]rewriterule ^domain.com$ [url=domain.com/forum/; [r=301,nc]

What this does this that it redirects http://www.domain.com/ to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and tells the Search Engines that the homepage has permanently moved to the new page (forums).

Please REPLACE domain.com and with your actual domain name.

Note: This method of using .htaccess only works on Apache servers with mod_rewrite enabled (If you use Xisto you will be fine!)

Automatic Redirection using HTML Tag

Put this code inbetween the <head> and </head> tags.<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="n;URL=http://your_url">Where 'n' is the number of seconds to wait before redirection. Set it to '0' if you dont want to wait.Put the url where you want to be redirected by replacing the 'your_url'

Redirection Using JavaScript

Put this code any where between the <head> and </head> tags.<script LANGUAGE="JavaScript"><!--	window.location.href = "your_url"; --></SCRIPT>Put the url where you want to be redirected by replacing the 'your_url'

Or possibly like i sed, the simplest and easiest, leastr time consuming way, and its easy to keep track on is using Managte Redirects!

Hi dear vietonline at first login at cpanel
then click at Manage Redirects and then
leave textbox one and type in textbox two your forum address and then click at add

or you can find many javascript code for redirect :

<html><script>	location = "http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/;

or use php redirect code :

<?php$forum = "Your Forum address " // like [url=http://yourdomain.com/forum]http://yourdomain.com/forum[/url]header ("Location: $forum");?>
