I want both www.domain.ie and domain.ie to point to domain.herokuapp.com
I want secure.domain.ie to point to a third party booking engine.
I've run the following command:
heroku domains:add www.tankardstown.ie
Here is what my DNS setup looks like
The www.domain.ie and domain.ie redirects are working fine. The problem is with the secure.domain.ie. Currently, I'm getting this error:
Seems to be ok:
$ dig +noall +answer secure.tankardstown.ie
secure.tankardstown.ie. 86395 IN A 82.195.138.28
probably just a DNS propagation delay?
Found this issue whilst looking for something else, but thought I'd better answer this question for other weary travellers...
Looks this issue was because the domain was not added correctly to Heroku.
The OP only added 'www.' but should have added a wildcard domain or 'secure.' as a subdomain.
Actual Solution:
OP should have run:
heroku domains:add *.tankardstown.ie
Heroku has more information here:

I signed up with Heroku hobby plan ($7 / month), and that part works fine, but the problem is, I specified the domain in Heroku like this: www.marcosbackyardswimming.ca, and in go daddy, I did CNAME, host: www, pointsto: Heroku.dns
the problem with this is, the only way it actually goes to the site is when I go to www.marcosbackyardswimming.ca, and if I just type in marcosbackyardswimming.ca, it doesn't go there. how do I redirect or specify somewhere to go to www.marcosbackyardswimming.com even if I just type in marcosbackyardswimming.com?
The annoying thing is that Go Daddy and Heroku don't play nicely. Here are a few pointers.
Make sure SSL is set on Heroku.
Remove the superfluous Go Daddy A records
Set up forwarding on Go Daddy with https:// protocol to www

I'm a noob. I've set up a tk domain here http://dot.tk/ I'd like to point to myapp.herokuapp.com. How can I do it?
I cannot figure out what entry to add, ARecod, Cname, MX record? What do I put in the HOST and IP fields? I keep getting "invalid data". Should I choose TK domain service or custom domain service?
In heroku I typed
heroku domains:add myapp.tk
Now what do I do?
Please, I'm not looking for an explanation as to how domain forwarding works. I'm sure as a network expert, you can spend hours studying it. I just need to know how to give my app a tk domain. Thanks
These are the panels I see
UPDATE
I've managed to do it with a CNAME record HOST=www.myapp.tk and IP=www.myapp.herokuapp.com but after 30 minutes they both stopped working and give a 404 error!? Is heroku blocking .tk domains?
UPDATE2:
I've registered another tok domain name. The www.myapp2.tk works but myapp2.tk does not work. My older www.myapp.tk and myapp.tk still give 404 error. Does anybody know how to fix this? I've done the following heroku commands:
heroku domains:add myapp.tk
heroku domains:add www.myapp.tk
heroku domains:add myapp2.tk
heroku domains:add www.myapp2.tk
In "cname record": host: www.myapp.tk ip-addres: herokuapp.com .
ping - a herokuapp.com in cmd and get ip, e.g. herokuapp.com [174.129.22.189]
add a-record host: myapp.tk ip-addres: 174.129.22.189 .
I couldn't get CNAME to work but everything seems to be all set with the following settings (I pinged herokuapp.com to get its IP):
SIDE NOTE: The validation on this page is finicky. Once it tells you that you've entered in a field incorrectly, it's smarter to just close the page and reattempt to enter the fields. I think their validation messes something up.
After you add those a record. Make sure they are included in your heroku app's domain list:
Heroku has dynamic IPs, you cannot ping to get an IP and just set it; might not work in other cases. See the answers here: How to point a TK domain to a heroku app? for correct solutions.
I have something quite mysteriously not working in my DNS configuration :
My app is at : http://my-domain.herokuapp.com
I configured my-domain.com the following way :
# 10800 IN A 174.129.25.170
www 10800 IN CNAME my-domain.herokuapp.com.
using wwwizer.
So, http://my-domain.com redirects to http://www.my-domain.com which CNAMEs to http://my-domain.herokuapp.com
Everything seems fine, but when I enter http://my-domain.com or http://www.my-domain.com, I get : Heroku | No such app error message.
So I tried this :
host http://www.my-domain.com
www.my-domain.com is an alias for my-domain.herokuapp.com.
my-domain.herokuapp.com has address 54.243.92.108
and
host http://my-domain.herokuapp.com
my-domain.herokuapp.com has address 184.72.248.52
I can't see where the problem is. WWWizer seems working fine, but it feels like CNAME hasn't refreshed since the herokuapp IP changed ...
Any tip would be super appreciated.
Thanks
Thanks to #neil-middleton comment, I found the solution.
I did added earlier heroku domains:add my-domain.com
but did not for
heroku domains:add www.my-domain.com
which is the one that matters here. (Though I left both in case)
So it seems heroku has its own internal DNS control when CNAME-ing *.herokuapp.com where it gets as an entry the heroku domains.
This is logical to avoid setting CNAME to an app one don't own.
I am running a multi tenant app that uses subdomains for tenants on Heroku. In production I have a domain where subdomains point to my heroku app. (This all works fine)
For staging, I'd like to test without creating another domain. Since my app uses the first subdomain it sees to find the current tenant, I was hoping to use a url like: tenant.myapp.herokuapp.com. However, this is not working (heroku returns a 'no such app' error.)
I've found this post from 2 years ago that says it should be possible, but I don't see this add-on/option anymore in the referenced documentation.
I have tried adding the subdomains as a wildcard in heroku by running
heroku domains:add *.myapp.herokuapp.com
but this returned
! Trying to hijack another Heroku app? Tsk, tsk.
Does anyone know if this can still be accomplished and if so, how?
note: I'm currently using my staging environment by CNAMING *.staging.myapp.com to myapp.heroku.com, but would like to clean that up.
Here's how you use subdomains with heroku
Full Details here
Custom subdomains
For each custom subdomain you want to attach to your app (for example, www.example.com), use the domains:add command from the Heroku
CLI:
$ heroku domains:add www.example.com`
Adding www.example.com to example... done
This is no longer valid: "Subdomains are currently not possible on heroku"
I followed the docs at Heroku and Zerigo to set up a custom domain for MYAPP.heroku.com. When I navigate to myapp.heroku.com, everything works fine. But when I navigate to myapp.com or www.myapp.com, I get the error "Heroku | No such app"
host myapp.heroku.com
myapp.heroku.com is an alias for proxy.heroku.com.
[.....]
looks good, and
host www.myapp.com
www.myapp.com is an alias for proxy.heroku.com.
[.....]
looks good too. But I still get "Heroku | No such app".
totally baffled at this point
The DNS entries look fine - provided you've added www.myapp.com as a custom domain to your application on Heroku then it should work fine. You can check this by viewing the application from the 'My Apps' tab on heroku.com and making sure the custom domain is listed in the domains section as 'www.myapp.com'.
If thats there then I'd log a ticket with support as you're doing everything right.
UPDATE: Heroku Status was just updated with a problem surrounding custom domains, it's likely that this is your problem - https://status.heroku.com/
HEROKU UPDATE: Engineers are still investigating the source of issues regarding custom domains. We have determined that only domains added or updated in the past 48 hours should be affected.
We'll continue to provide more information as it becomes available.
