htaccess 301 redirect root to subdirectory - .htaccess

Trying to get
www.example.com
to go directly to
www.example.com/forum
How can I do this with this configuration? Thanks in advance.
Edit:
Right now I have added below content in .htaccess
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forum/$1 [L,R=301]
I want result like
https://www.example.com/topic/topic-url/
to
https://www.example.com/forum/topic/topic-url/

With your shown samples, could you please try following. Please clear your browser cache before testing your URLs. Your tried rules will be creating an infinite loop hence it may not be working, I have added a condition if uri doesn't start from forum then only proceed with redirection.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^ https://www.example.com%{REQUEST_URI} [NE,R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forum/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteRule rule in .htaccess for matching keyword

I need to make a 301 redirect from
https://www.example.net/sub1/specific_keyword/page1/page2
https://www.example.net/sub2/sub3/specific_keyword/page3/page4
https://www.example.net/specific_keyword/page5/page6
to
https://www.example.net/sub1/
https://www.example.net/sub2/sub3/
https://www.example.net/
I tried this code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)\/specific_keyword$ "https\:\/\/www\.example\.net\/$1" [R=301,L]
But no luck.
With your RewriteRule attempt, you demanded that the requested URL
ends with /folder-to-remove, via the $ at the end, so that won’t match (Source: #comment120998408_68464303)
With that fixed, place following rules at top of your htaccess Rules file. Make sure to clear your browser cache before testing your URLs or use a redirect checker online.
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.net$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/.*$ $1/$2? [R=301,NE,L]
OR only match the specific keyword
RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)specific_keyword/ https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L,NE]

how to remove www from all urls of my website domain using htaccess

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$

But this code redirects only http://www.example.com to http://example.com
i want http://www.example.com/abcd as http://example.com/abcd also
Please help me. your help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
You can use this rule in root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
Make sure to test this in a new browser.
try this
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/" [R=301,L]

.htaccess RewriteRule subsubdomain.subdomain.domain.tld to subdomain.domain.tld/subsubdomain

Is it posible to redirect a sub-subdomain into a subdomain with the sub-sub domain as new folder using .htaccess rewrite-rule?
For example... When i go to 2013.archive.example.com I want to end up in archive.example.com/2013..
Already tried some things, current .htaccess is:
RewriteRule On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ archive.example.com/%1/$1 [L]
Unfortunately it isn't working. Any suggestions for this?
Changed it a but, currently using:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1/$1 [L]
and is working exactly how I wanted:)
For external redirect: (URL change in browser)
You can use this rule in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.(archive\.example\.com)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%2/%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
This will work provided DOCUMENT_ROOT is same for anything.archive.example.com and archive.example.com.
For internal forward: (No URL change in browser)
You can use this rule in your DOCUMENT_ROOT/.htaccess:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([^.]+)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /%1%{REQUEST_URI} [L]
If they share the same root, then you don't need the archive.example.com part in your rule's target:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^(.*)\.archive\.example\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /%1/$1 [L]

htaccess, url must have the www in it or re-direct

I need to re-direct a url of a website of mine, if it hasn't the www in it, because of a script that dont work if the url isn't complete, how can i do this with a htacces file, I cant find an example on the web.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [L,R=301]
Something like this might work for you:
RewriteCond %{HTTP:Host} ^(?!www\.)(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (.+)
RewriteRule .? http://www.%1%2 [R=301,L]

RewriteRule at htaccess wrong redirect

ive this rules at htaccess
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^site.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.site.com/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^warcraft$ www.site.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480 [R=301,NE,NC,L]
issue happend when redirect warcraft its redirect to
http://www.site.com/home/site/public_html/www.site.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
any tip ?
I suppose you want to redirect it to http://www.site.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480
If so put it in your .htaccess file:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^warcraft$ http://www.site.com/forumdisplay.php?f=480 [R=301,NE,NC,L]
You must provide the full URL including protocol in your rule, in this case http://www.site.com/.....
