    Solved Need help for setting up personal domain

    Post by dominic.japan January 13th 2023, 4:06 pm

    Hello, I already own and use domain (dominicmcclintock.com) - i.e. blog.dominicmcclintock.com and you can see a test of it. Smile

    My issue now is that I just purchased credits and now premium. I am trying to set my custom domain and already made the required CNAME changes in my Domain's DNS settings and verified with nslookup in command line

    Here are the results of my nslookup from my local computer's command line to show

    Code:
    dominic@dombuntu:~$ nslookup
    > www.dominicmcclintock.com
    Server:      127.0.0.53
    Address:   127.0.0.53#53

    Non-authoritative answer:
    www.dominicmcclintock.com   canonical name = community-oki-jp.forumotion.com.
    community-oki-jp.forumotion.com   canonical name = q50.maxns.net.
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 94.23.76.111
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 94.23.159.185
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 178.33.115.32
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 178.33.43.150
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 188.165.2.137
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 178.33.44.177
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 178.33.43.178
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 94.23.150.222
    Name:   q50.maxns.net
    Address: 94.23.73.212

    You can see how www.dominicmcclintock.com resolves to my community forum (same listed in my current settings)

    However, when I press the validate, I get this error

    Dominic wrote:The supplied domain name is not well configured
    Your CNAME must redirect to : community-oki-jp.forumotion.com

    But I think there might be a delay for this to work. Is this normal behavior? Should I wait longer.

    Sincerely,
    Dominic

    I made a new CNAME to social.dominicmcclintock.com and this is working, just got to wait for SSL cert creation. I know it said a few hours. Cool beans. Thank you.

    Sincerely,
    Dominic
