GODADDY help. x)

Good morning.

I'm having problem connecting my GODADDY domain to my forum.

Domain: www.doucerdevivre.com

Forum: http://z10.invisionfree.com/__doucerdevivre/index.php?

Every time I attempt to connect them it says it's having problem connecting it to the "Points To Host Name:".

Here is what I'm typing in:



Enter an Alias Name: www.doucerdevivre.com.

Points To Host Name: z10.invisionfree.com/__doucerdevivre

TTL: 1 hour



It won't accept it. What am I doing wrong?

I've tried it this way also...



Enter an Alias Name: www.doucerdevivre.com.

Points To Host Name: z10.invisionfree.com

TTL: 1 hour


It accepts it, but when I try to connect it to the forum the forum says: "The domain entered is not in a valid format." or "....CNAME is invalid...."

PLEASE, HELP! x)

<33SARA!

Go Irish!

For the Alias Name just enter www not the full domain.

Then for the Points to part, just enter z10.invisionfree.com

Thanks so much Brian! x)

I did that. Now, I'm still not sure what to enter into the open box where I add a domain name (within the Domain Manger in the C Panel).

I entered: doucerdevivre.com

Didn't work.

I entered: www Didn't work.

So, again PLEASE, HELP! x)

You'll need to create one extra CNAME record like you did above, except enter doucerdevivre.com. (With the trailing period) in the Alias box (Leave the Host name as z10.invisionfree.com). :)

Then try adding doucerdevivre.com (Without the trailing period) in the Domain Manager in your Admin CP.
