| To apply your domain to your forum you go:
Administration Panel > General > Forum - Forum Address > Personalized Domain Name. You then type in your domain name. I am guessing you should next receive a confirmation email from GoDaddy about this change.
Let us know how it goes and best of luck! |

| Thanks Pedro, My problem is configuring the external domain to work with my forum. - Quote :
- Configuration of an external domain name.
When you choose the sub-domain which you wish to use on your forum (forum.my_domain, for example, is a sub-domain of my_domain), you have to create the corresponding CNAME entrance in the DNS administrator of your domain: a CNAME entrance allows to point an url towards the other one in a transparent way. in this way, you can link forum.my_domain to adress.my_forum.
Recorder of domains names have different interfaces, and thus different methods to create such CNAME. However, in a general way, the process takes place as follows:
* Connect to your user account on the site of your domain name provider, and go to the DNS management. * Check that the chosen sub-domain is not already used. * In the generally entitled field "source", "origin", or "alias" enter the prefix of sub-domain (i.e. "Forum" if you want to use the sub-domain forum.my_domain). * In the generally entitled field "destination" or " target host ", enter the original url of your forum, adress.my_forum. * You will maybe have to inform the TTL (Time To Live): give the maximal possible value.
I need to know how to setup the above configuration. ----------- Posted later:
I have set it up may self guys. now its working fine. Thanks for everyone. |
