Cname isn't directing properly...probably my fault really

I set up a cname record and have never had any problems doing so until this time... Cname record: secure.domain-b.com. 14400 cname secure.domain-a.com I want secure.domain-b.com to show secure.domain-a.com as secure.domain-b.com What happens is it routes to domain-a.com rather than the sub domain like set up. I'm about 100% positive I did something wrong but I'm not sure what that would be. Thanks for any help!

  Based solely on what you posted, make sure your CNAME target ends with a period: secure.domain-b.com. 14400 cname secure.domain-a.com.
  Anyways, it seems like you're technically trying to park secure.domain-b.com to secure.domain-a.com. In that case, I would remove the cname and actually add secure.domain-b.com as a subdomain via cPanel, pointed to the same document root as secure.domain-a.com. This is assuming that both domain-a.com and domain-b.com are on the same cPanel account. If they are not on the same account, please describe your setup of these domains as far as the server is concerned so the proper setup can be advised.

  Hello :) Please also note that, once you have configured the CNAME correctly, your browser may produce a SSL certificate mismatch warning if the certificate is installed for one domain name and you are accessing it from another domain name. Thank you.
