CName Incorrect
Evening everyone,
I have been trying to add my own personal domain hosted by GoDaddy to my forumotion forum and I continue to get the same error. It says that my CName is not redirecting back to my forumotion forum url properly. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. If anyone could provide some help for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Hey James
I just check your forum and there is no CNAME setup on it!

Make sure you add your external domain name

Hello @Buttercup,
I have used that tutorial but for some reason I cannot seem to set it up correctly. I am not sure what it is that I am doing wrong however.

Hi Jadster,
Log Into your GoDaddy account and follow the following Instructions:
Go to the "Domain" option, select the domain you wish to configure, then click "Launch".
![CName Incorrect 2d9waaw](https://2img.net/h/oi61.tinypic.com/2d9waaw.png)
Next, select the "DNS Zone File" tab.
![CName Incorrect 1zl8zuw](https://2img.net/h/oi59.tinypic.com/1zl8zuw.png)
Now click the far left "Edit" button as arrowed.
![CName Incorrect 2viingi](https://2img.net/h/oi57.tinypic.com/2viingi.png)
Scroll down until you see the "CNAME (Alias)", and click the pencil Icon as shown.
![CName Incorrect V2wrps](https://2img.net/h/oi60.tinypic.com/v2wrps.png)
Enter your "forumotion" address WITHOUT the 'www'. To save the settings, click the "Save Zone File" and you're done.
![CName Incorrect Bgcves](https://2img.net/h/oi57.tinypic.com/bgcves.png)
Given you've configured this correctly, along with the Instructions as per Buttercup's post above, the DNS servers may take up to 24 hours to propagate. That said, nowadays It's a rather quick process, hence keep checking every hour or so.
If you need help with the ARecord & 301 forwarding, just let me know.
