How to redirect (htaccess) from site.com to site.com/forum?

[Jinkler]

I need to move one of my sites from being at /public_html/ to public_html/forum, whilst also keeping any inbound links working. Could someone point me how to do this via htaccess?

Evening.....

RedirectMatch 301 ^/(.*)   http://www.YOURDOMAIN.co.uk/forum/$1

Should work fine

That will take anything in the root to now be in /forum/

If you need items in the root still then something like

RedirectMatch 301 ^/folder1/(.*)   http://www.YOURDOMAIN.co.uk/forum/folder1/$1
RedirectMatch 301 ^/folder2/(.*)   http://www.YOURDOMAIN.co.uk/forum/folder2/$1

etc...

should be fine.
