Post Reply? Heya, I registered a free dreamhosters account with you guys. However, my MediaWiki doesn’t work, saying that it cannot access the database. In the confirmation email, it said that I might need to do the following: “There’s one last thing you probably need to do before wiki.rupert.dreamhosters.com will work though: you need to either switch to be hosted with us (by telling your domain registrar to change your nameservers to ns1.dreamhost.com, ns2.dreamhost.com, and ns3.dreamhost.com), OR you need to ask your current webhost to create a “CNAME from wiki.rupert.dreamhosters.com to mediawiki.dreamhost.com.” However, I don’t see how I can do this given that I am registered with a free dreamhosters domain. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to fix this. Thanks. Rupert
