    Solved New external domain name

    Post by richdoc April 7th 2012, 3:06 pm

    Hi,

    I just purchased a domain name outside of Forumotion. I have added a CNAME from the registrar using the FROM alias as the new domain name (www.gaming4grownups.co.uk) and the To HOSTNAME as the old forumotion domain name (www.gaming4grownups.forumotion.co.uk).

    Despite this when I try to validate the new name via the Admin panel I get the following error :

    The supplied domain name is not well configured
    Your CNAME must redirect to : gaming4grownups.forumotion.co.uk


    Am I doing something wrong or do I need to give it more time to settle before I can do the validation?

    Thanks

    Rich

    Hi!

    I think you should wait until Monday, because in week-end technicians aren't working. Very Happy
