domain redirect doesn't work

madelinerose — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:01:51 GMT

Can anyone help

I have tried twice now to redirect my domain name (www.madeline-rose.co.uk) to my free webspace (http://btconnect.com/madeline-rose) with no luck. It works in the test link but an error message (HTTP 403 Forbidden) appears otherwise. I DID save the change and waited over 24 hours on both occasions

Any help gratefully received

Hello What steps are you doing when you create the redirect?

same issue here today.

i set up 2 domains for forwarding last week.

akmheatingltd.co.uk forwards to the host http://home.btconnect.com/akmheatingltd ok and worked in minutes !

thesolidfueladvisoryserviceltd.co.uk should go to a sub directory of the above

ftp://akmheatingltd.co.uk/public/SFAS/ and load SAF_index.htm

In both cases the embedded links work thru the 'TEST' tag but the second page would only give a BT page but now gives ERROR 403

is it me or whu 🙂 ?

Manage Services

Manage Domains

Manage your domain names

Manage (madeline-rose.co.uk)

In "Website Forwarding" insert http://home.btconnect.com/madeline-rose into "Website"

Test link - this works

Save

Wait 24 hours

Hi there,

I have taken a look at your domain and the redirect has been applied successfully.

Unfortunately this has duplicated the www record which means the redirect would only have worked 50% of the time due to the 2 records for the single request.

I have deleted the duplicate record which means the redirect will work from now on.

My apologies for the inconvenience caused.

Thanks
