RewriteRule (cpanel)

[stormbind]

Hi,

I am a little stumped, partly because cpanel is rather dis-empowering and partly because Apache documentation suggests that I want may be "not supported because it is silly"

Here is my guess:

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/forums(.*)$ /index.html [P]

I hope to intercept all requests (from old links) directed to the following:

domain.com/cgi-bin/forums/bbs.cgi?etc.etc.etc.

and rewrite them to point at a static message, such as:

domain.com/index.html

Can you help? Thanks very much!

Does your guess not work? If not maybe an extra / is needed, ie:

RewriteRule ^/cgi-bin/forums/(.*)$ /index.html [P]
