I installed the forum in a sub-domain, did place the rewrite code into the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.my-domain.com

RewriteRule (.*) http://www.forum.my-domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

It redirects to http://www.forum.my-domain.com, but the login doesn’t work and brings me back to the bb-login.php page.

http://www.forum.my-domain.com/bb-login.php

What do I need to change in the code above to redirect to http://www.forum.my-domain.com and the login works?

As I discovered in the forum, I guess there is a problem with rewrite permalinks for the login. I tried it with permalink settings none, an emptied .htaccess file, and the name based option. Any recommendations to get the rewrite corrected are welcome.

I checked the syntax of the RewriteEngine. The redirect works:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forum.mysite.com$

RewriteRule (.*)$ http://www.forum.mysite.com/$1 [R=301,L]

I am not using WP only bbPress installation.

The problem is the login into ppPress.

bbPress login does not recognize: http://www.forum.mysite/bb-login.php.

It needs: http://forum.mysite.com/bb-login.php.

I tried permalink settings none and name based, same issue.

Does anyone uses redirect and how can I eliminate “double” content and redirect permanently to http://www.forum.mysite.com?
