Redirect entire site to URL with 302 - All URLs to 1 URL

Question

What i want to do is redirect an entire forum temporarily to a Twitter Page.

However anything i've tried hasnt worked.

If they visit for example site.com/Forum it will send them to twitter.com/ourpageForum

How do i just redirect them to twitter.com/ourpage with a 302 no matter what Forum URL they visit?

Thanks

For simple scenario's like the one above [mod_alias](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_alias.html) is sufficient and is both faster and doesn't have the learning curve of mod_rewrite. — HBruijn, Jul 13 '14 at 11:23

The Apache RedirectMatch directive is a fairly trivial method to do as you ask:

RedirectMatch temp ^/Forum/.* http://twitter.com/ourpageForum

temp returns a temporary redirect status (302).

Thanks and does that redirect all URLs? Im not looking to just redirect the Forum but the entire site which is mainly a forum. Sorry for being confusing. – user237462 Jul 13 '14 at 10:41
Its not just the /Forum URL i want to redirect is what im saying. I just need the root site.com/ and all subfolders redirected. Im waiting on DNS to propagate and cant test right now but i will soon. – user237462 Jul 13 '14 at 10:48
Ah my mistake... `RedirectMatch temp ^.* http://twitter.com/ourpageForum` should do that! – HBruijn Jul 13 '14 at 10:50
Seems to just time out if i go to site.com/Forum but works if i go to site.com – user237462 Jul 13 '14 at 11:01
And you wouldn't have another .htaccess file in the Forum directory? – HBruijn Jul 13 '14 at 11:09
Spot on! Works 100%. – user237462 Jul 13 '14 at 11:10
