I'm trying to link my Domain which is registered with Namecheap.com with my Forumotion Forum. In my Domain Host Records I entered the Sub-Domain I desire to use for the forum, then entered "myforum.forumotion.com" as the URL, and selected CNAME(ALIAS). The new Host Record saved successfully and gave me no errors, however when I go into my Forum settings to register my custom domain I get the following error:
The supplied domain name is not well configured
You have no CNAME redirecting to : myforum.forumotion.com
You have configured a A type DNS ( A type redirects to an IP address, and not to a textual domain name like the CNAME )
No matter what I try I get the same error. I know I've set it up right on the Domain side because I've setup sub-domains using CNAME before. Why is it convinced I have it set for "A (Address)"(Namecheap's term) instead of CNAME?
