.htaccess redirect problems...

Hi. I'm trying to create a .htaccess redirect rule to direct all traffic entering the root of my site to direct to a subdirectory. I tried this:

Redirect 301 / http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB

But, when I go to the root of my site, I get an error saying the site isn't redirecting properly. If I look in the address bar, it looks like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/phpBB/phpBB/phpBB/phpBB/phpBB/phpBB/....

How can I fix this?

It can be fixed by reading the documentation carefully and using RedirectMatch instead.

Where can I find this documentation? I don't know exactly what to search for which is why I came here.

For starters, putting the words "documentation" and "redirectmactch" into Google (no quotes) provides some interesting results (like the apache manual, where all this stuff is discussed).

I'll go ahead and clarify now.

Redirect is meant for matching URLs that
