Changing A record and CNAME provided by host
-
I am trying to redirect mrskrp.com to europeansecrets.moonfruit.com. These are the setup instructions I have been given by moonfruit:
– point the root record (i.e. ‘yourdomain.com.’) to 146.101.249.107, as a A record
– point the ‘www’ record to cdn.sitemakerlive.com. , as a CNAME record.
So I added the IP address as an A record. And changed CNAME record to the above, which didn’t work. I waited a few days so today I changed to http://europeansecrets.moonfruit.com. I am really not sure what I am doing wrong. Could you please help? Thank you!The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi mrskrp,
I see that your root record has been updated to 146.101.249.107 already. Are you still facing this problem?
It usually takes between 48-72 hours for domain name settings to propagate throughout the internet, so that might have the problem you faced.

Yes, thank you for your response. Moonfruit still doesn’t recognize the domain (it’s been now more than 72 hours- in fact over two weeks now) and gives me this alert:
“The domain does not point to the correct IP address. Please ask your domain provider to point the CNAME record for this address to http://europeansecrets.moonfruit.com. The domain name mrskrp.com cannot be used as preferred address because it has not been set up correctly. The DNS A record must be set to 146.101.249.107, which must be done by your domain provider. Only domains set up this way can be used as preferred addresses.”
Could you please help me with this?
Cheers! -
Here’s a website that generates reports on your domain’s DNS records:
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools#dnsReport|type=domain&&value=mrskrp.comIf you take a look at the WWW section, you can see that it’s set to 146.101.249.107. Your CNAME record looks fine as well.
You may wish to contact Moonfruit and see if they need to perform a refresh on their systems.
