My site is using DNS (http://playciv.com) and heroku url is https://civilization-boardgame-web.herokuapp.com
I have updated my site, but the changes are only showing when I use https://civilization-boardgame-web.herokuapp.com directly and not through my DNS.
Why is that?
How can I make the update show on my DNS? www.playciv.com
I flushed my DNS and it worked!

So I want to host my front-end React app on Netlify and I want it to be at www.mydomainname.com.
I also want to host my back-end on Heroku and I want it to be at api.mydomainname.com.
The problem is that if I set NameCheap DNS settings to use NamCheapDNS I can point it to Heroku, but I can't find a way to point it to Netlify as well since Netlify tells me to set NameCheap DNS to Custom DNS and I should point it to Netlify DNS with dns1.p07.nsone.net from 1 to 4.
Is there a way to have front-end on Netlify and back-end on Heroku, or at the end I have to transfer my React front-end to Heroku as well? And would that use the extra dyno or not?
Thanks!
In the end, I added dns1.p04.nsone.net. as the NS Record for "www" host in the Advanced DNS tab under my domain name.
Belatedly,
You can add a CNAME in Netlify's DNS records that points to Heroku's DNS. It looks like this
Record Type=CNAME
Name=api
Value=asdfasfd.herokudns.com
TTL=(blank)
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.
Just bought a new domain on https://iwantmyname.com/. For the purpose of this post lets assume the domain is example.fm
I set up domain forwarding where I got example.fm to point to example.herokuapp.com. Everything seems to work, but after the site is forwarded, the browsers textbox displays the old example.herokuapp.com domain instead of example.fm
I already added example.fm to heroku with heroku domains:add example.fm, but that didn't seem to change anything.
Any thoughts?
So the people at iwantmyname.com have been extremely helpful.
It turns out that I only did URL forwarding, which isn't the recommended way of setting up a domain through them.
They have a specific system with dealing with heroku here: mysite.herokuapp.com
I got rid of the forwarding and set up my domain completely through Heroku custom domain DNS setup.
EDIT2: Waiting to see if my changes were successful.
EDIT: I reinstalled everything using the command line Zerigo install command (the original question was for manual setup). THe problem now: the custom domains I set up do not work properly. Visiting the custom domain simply returns an error in Chrome: "Oops! Google Chrome could not find www.myapp.com" even though the custom domain I added was "www.myapp.com?
I've been trying to set up a custom domain on my Cedar Heroku app by following instructions at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains and https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/zerigo_dns.
In the tutorial for setting up a domain on Zerigo, one of the instructions for adding a host is to add the IP address of the webserver. How do I go about finding this information? I'm having trouble finding any resource that helps me with this.
Am I supposed to be adding the IP address of my app at _.herokuapp.com? When I try to do a look up of this address, I never get a consistent address (probably because of Heroku's many servers). Any help is appreciated.
Linking Zerigo and Heroku is a three step process.
(1) Use the heroku addons:add zerigo_dns:basic command or add Zerio manually through the add-ons page on your Heroku app.
(2) With your registrar or hosting provider to have the domain resolve properly. For Zerigo add all nameservers:
a.ns.zerigo.net
b.ns.zerigo.net
e.ns.zerigo.net
c.ns.zerigo.net
d.ns.zerigo.net
(3) And this is the step I think you may be missing. Log into Zerigo either through your Heroku configuration panel under "add-ons" or log into Zerigo directly. Select the DNS tab next to Account and Servers. On the left panel select the domain you have resolving to Zerigo: this domain will appear. Within this domain under "Nameservers" next to "Hosts" click "Add Snippet". Add both the recommended snippets proxy.heroku.com and the redirect record that excludes the www.
Wait the TTL period (usually 15 minutes) and your domains will work as expected.
