I am trying to manage a domain name and point it at a particular directory on a server. The address I need it to point to is:

http://saturn.nocdirect.com/~jsgcaorg/bjs/

or

http://69.73.175.185/~jsgcaorg/bjs/

When I try to change the DNS A record in my domain control panel, it will not allow me to point to this directory, I get the error:

"The value entered for a A record should be a valid public (IPv4) IP address."

Anyone know what I need to do to fix this?

Hello

That's not the DNS entry. You need to change the redirect (that should be one of the entries on your control panel).

A DNS record only points at the host machine e.g. 69.73.175.185

Your webserver software will then redirect to the correct directory. e.g. Under IIS you'd set your root directory as wwwroot/whatever/directory

DOH!

I get you now.

I'll stick to just designing the things in future
