Is there any way to block subfolder access on a subdomain? For example, I have forums.site.com, I want to be able to redirect site.com/forums/ to the subdomain. I couldn't because of bad redirecting skills, as they're in the same folder and it doesn't make sense. I'm looking for a way and I'm pretty confused on it all.
Are you using cPanel? There's a redirect feature there.
Alternatively, you can change the landing page for site.com/forums/ to site.com/forums/index.php, the index.php file would contain,
<?php
header( 'Location: http://forums.site.com' ) ;
?>
That's the basics of it.
In site.com/forums/.htaccess (or htaccess.txt), type
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule (.*) http://forums.site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I forgot that he was asking to rewrite his domain?
.htaccess
order allow deny
deny from all
allow from <your_IP>
The issue with the .htaccess redirects is that /folder/ and folder.blah.com ARE the same path, so redirecting folder/blah.com to blah.com/folder/ (or vice versa) results in "too many redirects", as it's just looping.
