    Solved Custom domain problem..

    Post by lexic2k 7/12/2012, 07:17

    Okay so I use Network Solutions for my domain name..

    I am using forumotion to host a guild forum. I want to use my domain name "skullbreakers.org" so I fallowed the instructions and it keeps giving me this error
    "Error

    The supplied domain name is not well configured
    You have no CNAME redirecting to : skullbreakers.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 )    "

    I did the cname right.. I put forum as the alias, put the TTL as 7200 and the reffers to host name to skullbreakers.forumotion.com

    example:
    Custom domain problem.. Ns0mW

    Then I put the "forum.skullbreakers.org" into the custom url thing and click save and it gives the error I showed above.

    Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

    Hello,

    Is it possible to have a screenshot of the whole page ?
    Are you sure that you're on a CNAME configuration ?

    You can set that in the advanced permissions for each forum Smile

    Also it seemed to work now that I just tried updating the cnet again.
