CNAME problem: godaddy- Kindly help

cname-recordgodaddy

I would like to point same location by 3 domains.

abc.com -> main domain : ip 123.123.123.123
1st-pointing-abc.com
2nd-pointing-abc.com

Now, domain with godaddy and hosting too.

How will I chnage CNAME and A record in case of 1st-pointing-abc.com and 2nd-pointing-abc.com?

Right now—-
1st-pointing-abc.com:
A Record: @ ip:123.123.123.123
CNAME: www "points to" abc.com

What I am doing wrong? I am getting the message:
Quote:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access / on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
godaddy says:
Quote:
1st-pointing-abc.com has no files to
pull up. Since it's custom dns, they are limited to how much support
the can provide.
any help greatly appreciate. thanks!

Sounds to me like this is a web server issue - you're probably using name-based virtual hosts, but only have a server name directive for the main domain.

Assuming you're using Apache, you probably just have a "ServerName 1.com" directive. You'll also need to add "ServerAlias 2.com" and "ServerAlias 3.com" directives.

Domain – Google App Engine | domain name mapping | Go Daddy domain name

You should not set A records to static IPs for App Engine. Set a CNAME for the 'www' subdomain to ghs.google.com, as you say you have, ensure everything is configured correctly in Google Apps, and give it 24 hours or so to make sure everything's propagated. If you want the 'naked' domain to redirect to the www domain, use Godaddy's redirection features to achieve this.

Domain – Godaddy cname “@” not working (instructions from Heroku)

I've set up a domain with godaddy using heroku so see if this helps.

First you set up 3 A records with the hostname @ to point to the heroku ips: 75.101.163.44, 75.101.145.87, and 174.129.212.2 (check their docs to make sure they are the same when you do this).

Then you add just one CNAME record if you want www and have it point to @.

If you use the total DNS control feature your screen will end up looking something like this:

You also need to use the heroku addon for DNS and configure it:

heroku addons:add custom_domains:basic
heroku domains:add yourdomainname.com
heroku domains:add www.yourdomainname.com

Doing the above should get you set up with their free basic DNS service.
