im having this same problem i followed what the link said but i get this error when i try to do the last step of the process


Error

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


please help me im stuck!!!!!!

I would walk you through it, but I'm very drunk. On the quick, but not very helpful, side of things - you have made a mistake with your domain name stuff. Look through their stuff again and try and set it up again. I am hoping the less lubricated well help me out here.

lol yes if someone else could help please it would be appriciated ive checked and re checked to make sure its setup right on the other end but i keep getting that when i try to finish the process on here.

well the way i do it is put this code as the index.html.

Code,

Code:

<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://yourforum.forumotion.com">

And that will automatically redirect you to your forum.you can change 0 to another number to delay the redirection for a little bit(like if you wanted to put a message saying it was being redirected).
