Help! I have an app on Heroku and free QuotaGuard plugin, which gave me two static IP addresses: "Your Static IPs are 54.72.12.1 & 54.72.77.249". Also, I have a domain name learn-reactjs.ru. In my DNS-master I pointed records:
www CNAME www.learn-reactjs.ru.herokudns.com.
# A 54.72.12.1
# A 54.72.77.249
But if I go to learn-reactjs.ru I will get a Heroku error "How did you end up here?". At the same time, I can go to www.learn-reactjs.ru without any problems.
How can I point root domain correctly?
I have solved this problem. I refused static IPs and started using CloudFlare. I set their name servers in my domain provider and my site started working well! After this, I attached SSL certificate which I get in CloudFlare. With the help of CloudFlare, everything turned out to be very simple!

I'm trying to point my GoDaddy domain to Heroku app. I followed the steps given here: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#add-a-custom-root-domain but I'm unable to access my Heroku app. Here are my DNS records settings:
Can someone tell me where I'm going wrong?
cname only allow you to point subdomain, so this case you should be able to see www subdomain pointed to Heroku, can you try to remove the A record.
I would recommend using DNS service like DNSimple/Cloudflare or in case you don't want to go out of Heroku you can try pointDNS
I'm having hard times trying to redirect a custom domain on Heroku, have you guys had the same problem?
Configured custom domain on Heroku (already tried different variation):
The server asks for Server Name, so I add the only thing Heroku returns as the DNS:
Below there are two domains, the first says "servfail" (the current app domain), the second "nxdomain", which I've just bought it's fine.
Any advices? Should I deploy on another server? Thanks for the help!
You need to update the DNS servers of your domain fariba.cl to fariba.cl.herokudns.com at the domain registrar's end (from where you purchased the domain)
After that it will work fine.
For those facing DNS redirecting problems in Heroku, I suggest this Add-on that you can add to your app in Heroku (for free): PointDNS
With it you can get many types of adresses, including IP and/or n1.server n2.server and so on, in which you can add the address to your domain settings.
I have been struggling to configure my Heroku to point to my domain name registered with GoDaddy.
I've setup my Heroku domain:
And I've configured my CNAME www to point to www.ithhero.com.herokudns.com
So far all tutorials/examples I've seen have had a different DNS target e.g. www.ithero.herokuapp.com . And even though I have followed the steps no results have been yielded. Godaddy and Heroku have been bouncing responsibility between them when raising an issue with either.
What am I doing wrong?
You postet it a while ago so I assume you found a solution already, but you should only change your CNAME value from:
www.ithehero.com.herokudns.com
to
ithehero.com.herokudns.com
This is definitely an issue on GoDaddy.
If you try the following, you can see that the domain has been setup correctly from Heroku's side:
curl -v -H "Host: www.ithehero.com" www.ithehero.com.herokudns.com
Also, if you check your DNS resolution, your CNAME's haven't been propagated at all: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.ithehero.com
I would go back to GoDaddy and get them to have a look at this.
Would like to learn how website works.
Purchased a domain name from bigrock domain registrar.
Am used to deploy applications to Heroku for my official websites.
But this is my personal site deployed to Heroku.
But how to connect my domain name to heroku ?
Heroku documentation is not clear to me.
I tried domain forwarding after playing with google search, but my site http://www.prithvibhargav.com/ is still giving me blank page.
Where as the heroku default website address still works
http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/
How to make my domain name to connect to heroku and work ?
There are so many terminoliges people use which is confusing
CName , A address, 301 redirect, domain forwarding
Which one to choose ?
You need to set your DNS to point to your heroku address. You should be able to go into the DNS settings in bigrock (where you registered the domain) and create CName record that will forward from your domain (http://www.prithvibhargav.com) to the heroku address (http://afternoon-cove-8287.herokuapp.com/)
(tried on Server fault, so going to try here)
Hi I recently setup my octopress blog at http://davidmjohnson.me. This domain works fine, but when I try http://www.davidmjohnson.me I get a "heroku no app found." Why is the www not working. Would really appreciate an explanation. I bought my domain name at dnsimple. Do I need to add a redirect from "http://www.dav..." to just "http://dav..." ?
Thanks
I'm guessing you need to configure this domain (and any subdomain) in the heroku CLI application (equiv. of ssh-ing into the machine and changing the nginx/apache location/virtualhost configuration).
I see they have an entry about this in their reference:
https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains
To elaborate a bit from the documentation:
Subdomains ( www.mydomain.com)
For each subdomain you want to setup configure your DNS provider using
a CNAME record pointing the subdomain to the applicable Heroku
hostname.
If the app is on Cedar, then CNAME the subdomain to myapp.herokuapp.com
If Bamboo, then myapp.heroku.com
In DNSimple a CNAME
record entry for a Cedar app would look like:
You can confirm that your DNS is configured correctly with the host
command:
$ host www.example.com
www.example.com is an alias for myapp.herokuapp.com.
myapp.herokuapp.com is an alias for ar.herokuapp.com.
ar.herokuapp.com is an alias for argon-stack-1879049447.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com.
argon-stack-1879049447.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com has address 107.20.157.144

Actually, it should really be the other way around. It is much better practice to point CNAMEs at Heroku apps, since Heroku apps have no real "static" IP. Since naked domains need an A-record, pointing a naked domain to a Heroku app makes everything much less stable. So the best practice is to forward your naked domain to a "www" subdomain, and then point the "www" CNAME to your Heroku app.
Heroku goes into detail about this here.
