    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.

    Best regards
