Domain is not resolving

Are you trying to redirect two domain names to one forum?  You can not do that.

I don't believe so. I am trying to do it the same way I always did. 

The way it worked before was that we had a link to the address www.forum.phason.ca, which brought us to our forum. That is no longer working. 



The only way I can get to our forum right now is through the address phason.canadian-forum.com. I want it so that the forum.phason.ca will work again.

Wait a minute.  Is not this the domain name - www.phason.ca ?

We have a domain, phason.ca, and a website at www.phason.ca. 

We have a forum, which is located at phason.canadian-forum.com. We used to be able to access the forum at forum.phason.ca. Our configuration in the Administration panel says so as well.
 

However, we cannot access the forum using forum.phason.ca. When we try, we get the following message.

Have you tried contacting the people where you brought the domain name?

Where we got the Phason.ca domain? What would I tell them? We have no problems with our website, only the forum.

Is the link exactly forum.phason.ca?

Who did you get this new domain name from ?
http://www.forum.phason.ca.

The domain is registered with Webnames. It is hosted at HostPapa.

In our forum's Administration panel, under Misc > Credits management > Spend credits > Domain name, you can see that we have spent credits to get the domain www.forum.phason.ca. 

Thanks we just needed to know if you had got the domain off of us or some other webtool like godaddy

I will ask our pro admin to take a look at this for you.

The pro admin is not in the office until tomorrow so there not get my pm until the morning.

Thanks very much!

oops sorry wrong post lol

Your welcome

The issue is with the company where you got the domain name.  You will need to contact them about it.

Yes as you got your Domain name from some one other then FM (US) you will need to talk to them about it as we do not help on names that do not come from us Sorry.

APE

I have asked our team to look at this again 



so let me get this clear !!

You made your forum and this was the URL of the forum >> http://phason.canadian-forum.com
Then you got credits from us and payed for this URL >>  http://www.forum.phason.ca

But your forum is not getting redirected to the new URL http://www.forum.phason.ca is this correct ?

That's correct

ok i get you now.

Oops, I posted in the wrong topic.

Hello i have word back from our team about your problem.

We have fund that you payed credits for the removal of Ad's on your forum and not for the Domain http://www.forum.phason.ca
There for you need to talk to your Domain service provider about it as there is Noting we can do our end To see what you have payed for please look under

ACP >> Misc > Credits management > History  
as you will see no credits was used to pay for a domain name.

Kind regards  APE

Well, I looked and we started the forum back in November 2012. When I initially was setting it up, I had it directed to forum.phason.ca. It worked that way up until a little over a week ago. 

I don't remember talking to my domain provider originally, but I could have.  I can talk to them again, but what do I tell them? I already have the subdomain forum.phason.ca.



Forumotion owns the domain phason.canadian-forum.com, so how do I get my domain provider to direct Forumotion's domain to mine? Doesn't Forumotion have to do that?  Do I need to buy more credits to make this work again?

You need to ask them to test your Domain name you got from them as its not working our system is working fine its your provider that is having the problem.

Will do, thanks.

I chatted with customer support for my domain host. The transcript is below.

I did manage to get forum.phason.ca to redirect to phason.canadian-forum.com. However, I cannot get forum.phason.ca to display in the address bar after doing this. Nor can I change it to do that, as it is only possible on the Forumotion end.

Me 
Good morning.We have a support forum at phason.canadian-forum.com. Before we changed our hosting and moved our sites to you, the forum redirected to forum.phason.ca. This redirection no longer works. The only way we can access the forum is at phason.canadian-forum.com. We want to be able to access it using forum.phason.ca. 


Support
Please allow me a moment while I check it for you. 


Support
I have checked and found that you have created a sub domain with the name "forum.phason.ca" but there are not file under the folder forum in your cpanel. 


Me 
Because the files are at phason.canadian-forum.com. They resided in that domain. When they go to the address forum.phason.ca, I want them to see the files at the Forumotion address, but seeing the Phason address in the address bar. 


Support
I have also checked and found that you have not set any redirect for the sub domain "forum.phason.ca" and you can check the same from the subdomains option in the cpanel. 


Me 
Okay, I did that. When I go to forum.phason.ca, it redirect's to phason.canadian-forum.com. That is good. However, it displays phason.canadian-forum.com in the address bar. I want it to display forum.phason.ca. 


Support
In this case you will need to setup the frame forwarding and for that you will need to add a code in your htaccess. 


Me 
I do not know what you mean or how to do that. 


Support
I am checking with it and will be right back with you. 


Support
Kindly note that what I would suggest you is to just move the same contents to the folder forum so that you do not need to set the redirect nor you will need to add the frame forwarding code. 


Me 
I cannot do that as I do not have access to them. The files are hosted on the Forumotion domain, and only they have access. 


Support
Yes and that is the reason the frame forwarding will work but you will need to add the code at the different host where the files are hosted. 

ok give this a go
