Question Redirect with htaccess to upper level folder, how to?
Hello,

Well I have a web with a very bad structure (a vBulletin forum) and I want it redirected to a newer folder in the same server but with a upper level folder.

Current structure is:
PHP Code:
http://www.unix.com/vbulletin/upload/index.php 


And I want it to be:
PHP Code:
http://www.unix.com/forums/index.php 


But the 301 redirections via htaccess aren't working properly and of course I don't want to lose rank...

Any help?

Thanks.

Webserver: Apache
