Solved Redirecting your own domain

Post by Guest Mon Nov 28 2016, 18:38

So I have my own domain name and I wants it to redirect to my forum.
I have added the correct Cname settings and my domain provider has confirmed that everything is indeed correct, however, when I am adding my subdomain in an Admin CP, I always get this error no matter what:

The supplied domain name is not well configured
You have no CNAME redirecting to : murkliai.forumlt.com

The domain name provided works, you a wanting your current domain name to direct the viewer to the domain name provided?

Thanks,

I have no idea what you just said (confused).

I have my own domain name, properly set up redirection by entering a Cname, however in the admin CP (General - Forum Address) when entering my domain name it shows that it is not redirected to your Cname even though it is.

forumas.murkliai.lt is my own sub-domain while murkliai.forumlt.com is my default forum address.

So you want to add your forum name after something?  I do not know if that is possible.  Most domain names just remove the Forumotion part.

Original Link:  help.forumotion.com
Domain Names:  help.com, help.net, help.org, etc.

How are you entering the link in the administration panel?

Hi, it is still not working.
In admin CP I try with/without www

That's how my DNS settings look like. The domain is Murkliai.Lt and I want it (not a sub-domain, I changed my mind) to reach my forumlt forum.

Maybe it has something to do with A's? Or maybe aname www entry has to be without a dot?

You need to contact the domain name provider about how to set it up.

We do not know how other providers work. 

I meant how do you enter the link in your forum's administration panel?

murkliai.lt and www.murkliai.lt , I try both.

Also, my uploaded picture shows everything you need to know (it shows a Cname record, that's all you need).

Go ahead and enter it even if you get the error message.  Wait a couple days to see it it starts to work.
