Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

Club 1169: Trying to migrate website to a new domain

9 years 11 months ago - 9 years 11 months ago

Hello,

I have been trying to migrate our website to a new domain for about a week now. I setup our GoDaddy domain registration as described and it appears that everything is configured properly. Here are is the DNS lookup:
OLD:
www.viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=www.b...onaltoastmasters.org

NEW:
www.viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=busin...onaltoastmasters.org

However, every time I change the "Custom Website Domain" it doesn't pull up our site, just the generic FreeToastHost. I get the following error:

You have errors in your form below. Please scroll down and correct the following:
Basic Settings Tab - This domain is not yet pointing to the IP address 50.19.253.65. In your domain registrar's DNS area, modify the exisitng "A" and "MX" records for this domain, to point to 50.19.253.65, wait the amount of time as specified by your domain host, then try again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

-Mitch Olinsky

Missing an A record for mail:

A mail.businessandprofesssionaltoastmasters.org 50.19.253.65

This routes email using your domain to our server.

You need to add the A record or cname for WWW to get the connection. once it is setup you can use just the domain if you prefer
