Hi! 

We set-up portal and forum on forumotion " http://osad.slovenianforum.com/   and we would like to use our own domain " www.osad.si ".  bought in Slovenia. 


We need cname address to redirect domain - that's what our domain provider told us.

Thank's for reply, nice attitude ~1~

I've read the tutorial several times and it still doesn't work.
This is screenshot from my domain name provider ....

I need CNAME address to use my domain bought in EU Za-ur



it should work but it doesn't, that's why i ask for my CNAME, because: 

( this is copied from admin panel ) 
The supplied domain name is not well configured

You have no CNAME redirecting to : osad.slovenianforum.com

As you can see i have cname redirecting to " osad.slovenianforum.com " but it is not working.
So any ideas or should i read your manual one more time?

Hello

If you get this error message, it means your Cname is not well configured;)


I advise you to start from the beginning. There are three information to enter

1- Time to live:

It represents the time your members will keep the page on cache. Choose a long period of time (around 15 days is enough)

2- Name:

It is the particle before the domain name. For example:

name.your_domain.uk


If you want to have your forum on www.your_domain.uk, in that case the name =www
If you want to have your forum on forum.your_domain.uk, in that case the name = forum.... etc

Your can read Gandi tutorial to learn how to set up a domain name: http://wiki.gandi.net/en/dns/zone/cname-record

3- Value:
It is the url targeted, the url of your forum without http://

You can watch the following video:



The video is in French but I think it can help Wink

I cannot help you further as the configuration of the Cname is external to our service. I just hope this explanation will help you.
