Cname

I am in your Control Panel and would like to add a CNAME. My question is what information do I need to add to the "Destination" and "TTL" fields?


Thanks

 

If you only have one CName entry it really doesn't matter. The destination and TTL typically refers to the priority and caching time. For destination you can set it for 10 and for TTL set it for 3600.

 

Oh my fault on that one. I was completely thinking of the Priority setting.

 

I'm having trouble using the CNAME thing. I am entering:

Domain Name:
sample.interporre.com

Destination:
http://www.interporre.com/services/sample/

TTL: 3600


BUT, It always says that Destination value is "Invalid". No matter what I type in there.

 

You are trying to do a redirect of a subdomain name to a folder. The CName is not used for that.
You will need to setup sample.interporre.com as a domain pointer and then write a redirect script so that sample.interporre.com points to the correct folder. Try looking at this kb article.
