    Domain help

    hello
    i have got my website hosted on a vps ,
    people can access my website on 108.61.210.*/forums (i hided the last digit)
    also i have got a domain from namecheap

    what changes do i have to make in domain panel to make my domain point to the vps ip so it can be accessible at www[domain]com and [domain]com (without www) ?

    i have tried A Name address record but it will make my domain redirect to the ip and shows the IP instead of the domain in the address bar of visitors
    i have also tried url frame redirect but it doesnt do exactly what i want ,it will always redirect me to [domain]com even if i enter www[domain]com/folder1/folder2

    Do you use a CMS? If so, you setup your domain correctly but you need to configure your site to reflect the changes.

    Would be a lot easier if you posted the actual URL.

    Okey
    gta-dm.com/forums works
    but www.gta-dm.com/forums always redirect to main directory

    in conf_global.php of ipboard
    $INFO['board_url']='http://108.61.210.38/forums';
    if i replace this with the actual domain name ,the board will not work

    my domain setting are
    HOST NAME IP ADDRESS/ URL RECORD TYPE
    @ http://108.61.210.38/ URL FRAME
    www http://108.61.210.38/ URL FRAME

    My guess would be is to change the board_url to your domain name, but you need to point the domain to the IP address with an A record, not with some kind of redirect.
