Redirecting your addon domain to forums

[UncleTom]

I am having trouble redirecting my addon domain to forums. When I set up my site to direct to mydomain.com/forums, it comes up with a file not found page and does not load. I cannot load mydomain.com/forums either.

I emailed the help desk and they told me it was a coding issue with .htaccess, but the code they gave me didn't work. The code to add to my public_html/mydomain htaccess file was:

RewriteRule ^index.htm$ forums/index.php [R,NC,L]

What am I doing wrong?

Well, the htaccess I would use would be:

Redirect 301 / http://www.yourdomain.com/forum

Put it into the main folder of your add-on domain and save it as .htaccess

I just signed on to post this too, I cant get it right either.

Were you able to get it fixed?

Is there some reason you didn't just set the add-on domain up to point to that folder in the first place rather than creating a redirect or is the folder you're redirecting to not inside the public_html of that account.
