×If you’re using Apache, you can use Rewrite rules to rewrite sub.example.com/forum to sub.example.com.
You can add following to your Virtual Host or .htaccess for sub.example.com:
Question
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ $1
If you changed via Virtual Host make sure restart Apache after change. If you go with .htaccess, make sure it’s enabled.
This will ‘just remove’ forum/ part from your link.
If you decide to go with Virtual Host change, it will look something like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName sub.example.com
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^forum/(.*)$ $1
. . .
</VirtualHost>
You can find virtual hosts files in /etc/apache2/sites-available. Default file is 000-default.conf.
You can also go with redirection, but rewrite rules should be more suitable.
If you use nginx, I can write down instructions too, if needed.
