Access my ccgi website from my domain

I have a domain name.. www.domainname.co.uk
I have a ccgi site http://ccgi.name.plus.com/
I have made a forum at this address http://ccgi.name.plus.com/forum
How do i make it so that if i click on www.domainname.co.uk it will redirect to http://ccgi.name.plus.com/forum

Re: Access my ccgi website from my domain

Hello
Three things:
First the domain needs to point to ccgi: https://portal.plus.net/central/forums/viewtopic.php?t=52576
Then the .htaccess file needs to be put into ccgi.
And third, in the forum admin panel the new domain needs to be entered.
That's it.

Re: Access my ccgi website from my domain

Ok, so i have added this info to a .htaccess file..
Quote
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.co.uk$ [nc]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/forum/
RewriteRule (.*) /forum/$1


Then i went to domain settings and added
www  cname    ccgi.plus.net.

Is this correct?

Re: Access my ccgi website from my domain

Hello
The .htaccess file should work, though this is enough actually:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.mydomain.co.uk$ [nc]
RewriteRule (.*) /forum/$1

... because the one line is not required.

The Domain control settings are OK, this is what I had for a long time, and it is recommended in the tutorial (http://usertools.plus.net/tutorials/id/14). You could also use www a 84.92.1.4  (no trailing dot).
Now, don't forget to:
Quote
Once you have done this, raise a "Contact Us" ticket to PlusNet support asking them to "Change the CGI service to basic" this will create the necessary records on the CGI and DNS servers to correctly point the domain to your files on the CGI server.

Hope it will work for you without problems. Smiley
