www. to a subdomain on godaddy

#1 Post by sean1204 »

Hey there folks, quick question for you.

I have an account on godaddy, and I'm trying to figure something out (my apologies not computer savy).

I have a site (www.domain.com), and created a subdomain using wordpress (www.subdomain.domain.com). I can only access the subdomain as subdomain.domain.com. If I type in http:// or www. + subdomain.domain.com, it comes back as a page not found. Could someone provided detailed instructions as to how I can get it to show whenever I type in at least www.subdomain.domain.com?

I don't know how GoDaddy handles DNS, but I can tell you what the basic BIND entry you need for DNS should probably look like:

Code: Select all

www.subdomain    1D IN CNAME subdomain
If you can go in and change the DNS lines for your GoDaddy account, then you just need to add that one, and it should work (after ~24 hours, of course, like all DNS changes; they take time to propagate through name servers).
