mapping cname to my custom domain name results in posts with cname only

I have a custom domain yourtechchick.com hosted with openshift. I have mapped Cname your-techchick.rhcloud.com to http://www.yourtechchick.com and it seems to work. But, When I click on posts, It leads to url with your-techchick.rhcloud.com/post-name . I want it to be yourtechchick.com/post-name. How do I fix this?

My permalink shows your-techchick.rhcloud.com option only. Is it possible to fix this with wordpress url and site url thing?

Also, I would like to know in detail the difference between wordpress url and site url.

I somewhere read this is where I need to change, if yes, which amongst these needs to be changed to http://www.yourtechchick.com from http://your-techchick.rhcloud.com.

and In case I mess up these settings, which file will I need to reupload through ftp client in wordpress directory?

You need to log into your wordpress admin, and change the home and siteurl options to be your custom domain, instead of the app-domain.rhcloud.com that you originally set it up with. Here is some official wordpress documentation for reference: https://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
