The requested URL "/", is invalid.

What's happening? Whenever I or someone clicks my link in blog, directories, or even when I type in my site, I get this message. I went to my account at Yahoo to check the forwarding, and it is correct. Any help would be appreciated. My site: www.bobsingerphoto.com or
http://www.bsphotography.smugmug.com/ It works when you use the second one.

Hi,
We made a change this weekend where if your domain was set up incorrectly, it stopped working. We will be happy to get you sorted out, however! Please email the help desk:

I got the same msg.... and was told to refer to the following post (which you should find your answer):

Thank you for contacting SmugMug. I'm sorry about your domain troubles.
It seems as if you have pointed your domain with a CNAME to
yournickname.smugmug.com . This may have worked in the past, but it's
not something we instructed you to do. Please change your CNAME record
to domains.smugmug.com instead. That'll fix your domain. In the past we
asked you to point your CNAME to www.smugmug.com, but this will stop
working soon. You will also want to change the IP address for any A
record you have pointed at SmugMug (the old IP is 63.81.134.23) as that will also be changing soon.
We have more information on the correct domain setups here:
http://www.smugmug.com/help/professional-accounts
In a nutshell, to set up the CNAME correctly you need the following:
1. for the www host point a CNAME record to domains.smugmug.com
2. also add or change an A record to 208.79.45.23 if you want people to be able to
access your site without www. Some domains allow you to use an @ sign
for the host to indicate that it is empty. Check the help at your
domain host to see what they recommend.
If you use subdomain.yourdomain.com instead of www.yourdomain.com ,
point the subdomain with a CNAME record to domains.smugmug.com and don't
add an A record as it isn't needed.
Do not use your full domain in the CNAME unless the domain host tells
you to. If you do, you will end up with
www.yourdomain.com.yourdomain.com or something similar.
Do not put in the yournickname.smugmug.com address as the destination no
matter how tempting that may be. Do not use forwarding or redirects
either. None of these will work correctly.
records if there are any for your site. It will take 24-48 hours for
the changes to propagate around the internet.
If you have not already done so, go to your SmugMug control panel and
enter the custom domain on the settings tab. That is all there is too
it. If you have problems, please let me know.
If you are stuck, send me your domain host UserID and set the password
to something temporary like SmugTemp123. I will log in and make the
changes or check the settings for you. When I am done you can reset the
password.
1. the name of your domain registrar
2. login name to your domain
3. change the password for your domain to smugtemp{insert_4_random_digits}
Once I have made the changes, I will let you know so that you could
change your password back.
