lost_dom Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I asked over at IPS Beyond how I would go about using my own domain for my new forum, and this is the reply I got.Lets say for example...your current URL is www.example.invisionzone.comand your on server 65 > www.server65.ipslink.com which has the ip address 123.123.123.123and your username for that is ~dom (so you could access it also with www.server65.ipslink.com/~domAsk IPS for the IP address of your server if you do not know it.On the drop down chose "forward my domain"Forwarding destination = ht tp:/123.123.123.123/~domForwarding type = frame redirectPut your title in the title box. Leave the other two blank.Go back to the main screen. Tick your domain again. Choose "DNS" > Edit DNS settingsGeneral settings radio box = set to DNS Basic DNS settings dropdown = "my name server"Primary name server = ns1.ipslink.comSecondary name server dropdown = "my name server"Secondary name server = ns2.ipslink.comLeave the other two boxes blank.Wait up to 72 hours till its all resolved. Keep tying your new address every so often to see when it works.After its all resolved, edit conf_global.php in your forum root to change the address in there to your new one. Then viist the ACP > tools / settings > general config > and change the url in there too.It sounds a lot worse than it is. Its difficult to explain without making it seem complicated. Its very easy to do. You only need to change a few settings then simply waitFrom that, I need to find out my server's I.P address, but I dont know how I would do that. So im asking how do I do that? Lol. :PAlso, is there an easier way of using my own domain than the above? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
