Best way to have a forum on my site?
-
You said it yourself a few days ago:
The link to my forum is http://tubbycraft.forumotion.ca/
Is that not the forum you want your CNAME record to point to?

Hi. The DNS seems to be correct now on our end. Congratulations on getting the CNAME set up (it’s tricky stuff). It looks like something may not be set up correctly on the forumotion side. I show them forwarding tubbycraft.forumotion.ca to the CNAME q52.dnspro.org, which does not display your forum. It’s weird that browsing directly to tubbycraft.forumotion.ca displays your web site while following the new CNAME record does not; maybe there’s something that the forumotion DNS doesn’t like about doing duplicate CNAMES, or maybe they need to set up some additional configuration on their end. At any rate, I think that at this point, you’ll need to get forumotion tech support involved. I would say something more or less like this:
I have set up the following DNS record to forward forum.tubbycraft.com to tubbycraft.forumotion.ca:
CNAME forum tubbycraft.forumotion.ca.
The resulting DNS lookup appears as follows:
;; ANSWER SECTION:
forum.tubbycraft.com. 3258 IN CNAME tubbycraft.forumotion.ca.
tubbycraft.forumotion.ca. 172458 IN CNAME q52.dnspro.org.
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.24
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.25
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.20
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.21
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.22
q52.dnspro.org. 47 IN A 174.36.29.23When I visit http://forum.tubbycraft.com/, I am forwarded not to my forums but to http://forum.forumactif.com/ (which is also using dnspro.org for DNS). Can you help me investigate why the CNAME is not forwarding properly?
