CNAME is not working for me - need help

[raxit4u2]

Hi,

I am trying to set up cname in my directadmin panel.

I want www.xyz.com/abc/ to show www.pqr.com/test.php?id=2

I tried to set up cname but it says enter valid value.

I tried to set up www.xyz.com and www.pqr.com. than it says A name is already exist even there is no A record added.

Can anybody help me please how to set CNAME if i want to achieve this feature ?

You should make a redirect for this in the public_html directory or something like that. Cname records are not ment to point to files, so that's why it says you did not enter a valid value.

You could use a cname record for xyz and pqr.com like this (if I remember correctly).

www.xyz.com. CNAME www.pqr.com.

Don't forget the trailing dot.

But you can't use cname to point to a file like test.php, you need a redirect for that.
