Hi am new to this forum wish I had found it sooner its great.

I have been working on a blog and was happy with it so I decided to buy a domain name. The thing is am having a hell of a time tryin to get the name to point to my blog.

I bought my name from UK Cheapest and am trying to configure it to point to Blogger. Im sure I must of done something wrong though cause this message has shown up.

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /var/www/html/dbindex.php on line 142

This is how I have set up my DNS

www CNAME ghs.google.com.
@ A 216.239.32.21
www A 216.239.34.21
mail A 216.239.36.21
@ A 216.239.38.21

And this is how Blogger says to set it up.

  • Create a CNAME record for your blog's address, which should be a subdomain of the form www.example.com.
  • To create a CNAME record for your domain with the DNS, associating your domain with: ghs.google.com.
    The exact procedure for doing this varies depending on your domain registrar, but you can find instructions for many common registrars here. If yours isn't listed, or if you run into other difficulties, you can contact your registrar directly and they'll be able to help you out.
  • Create 'A' NAME records for your naked domain (blog.com)

    Note: The following information applies to naked domains only!! If you're setting up a subdomain then this does NOT apply to you! :-)
  • Creating A records for your naked domain is important as it allows Google to redirect people who use in your naked domain name (blog.com) to your blog page (www.example.com). If you do not do this, visitors who leave off the www will see an error page.
  • There are four separate A records you will create, and can be done from the same control panel you accessed your CNAME records. Simply point your naked domain (example.com, without the 'www') to each of the following IP addresses
216.239.32.21 216.239.34.21 216.239.36.21 216.239.38.21

Any ideas where I have gone wrong, I cant figure it out.

Thanks In Advance
