I own the domain name, iamgabeaudick.com. It was my personal website, but I now want to use it as my tumblr domain. I've changed the DNS, and tumblr confirms that the domain is set up correctly.
But when I access iamgabeaudick.com, a blank "Index of /" page appears.
Any ideas why this is? Do I need to configure the ftp files in some way?
Your domain is working fine for me (I can see your Tumblr blog). It sounds like your DNS is just being cached, either by your computer, or by your ISP.
You probably just need to wait 24hrs.
DNS settings take some time to propagate and not all DNS servers refresh at the same time. Like #webdestroya says, probably give it a day. For what it's worth it hasn't updated for me and I'm seeing the "Index of /" at the time of this post, but since it worked for someone else it probably just needs some time.

I have moved a website from heroku to another provider. Lets say its custom domain is www.mysite.org. It was also at mysite.herokuapp.com, although we never really used that domain, Google has indexed some pages there. I want to redirect any requests mysite.herokuapp.com/[EVERYTHING] to www.mysite.org/[EVERYTHING]. The paths are otherwise compatible. I am told Heroku does not allow you to use an .htaccess file. I've deleted the mysite project on Heroku but could create a new one thats a simple php page or something else?
I'm sure this has been asked before, i've looked but find either too little or too much information and none seems to answer my question. Thanks.
I am trying to build my first website on a domain that I purchased through Google Domains. I have followed this tutorial but am still unable to reach my site by visiting www.mysite.com
I have ensured that index.html and 404.html are set to public-read and I can see them by clicking on the public link button in the console, but that takes me to https://storage.googleapis.com/www.mysite.com/index.html
I want to simply be able to type www.mysite.com and see my index.html document.
I have added a record set with DNS Name www.mysite.com and Data c.storage.googleapis.com but still have no luck.
What am I missing?
UPDATE
This tool shared by a commenter below shed a bit more light on what seems to be causing the issue. It looks like my registrar setup is not finished, but I am not sure how to do so.
I noticed that when I search for www.mysite.com, every field says No record found, but when I search for just mysite.com (no "www"), some fields are populated (not AAAA, CNAME, A, SPF, SRV, TXT, SRV, or LOC, though)
I also noticed the "Registrar Setup" link on the Cloud DNS page, which says "This zone will not normally be usable until you register the related domain and configure these records with your registrar:" and lists ns-cloud-e1.googledomains.com for e1 through e4.
Why are fewer fields populated for www.mysite.com than for mysite.com, and what steps do I need to take to finish my registrar setup?
UPDATE: ANSWERED
I determined the issue and have posted the answer below
What error do you get exactly when you go to www.mysite.com? Does it resolve? Do you get a 404? Do you get the 404 you specified? Or a 404 from Google? Or something else?
Are you sure the CNAME is set correctly? You can check it with a tool like this:
https://www.ultratools.com/tools/dnsLookup
What happens when you go to www.mysite.com/index.html ? Did you assign pages?
https://cloud.google.com/storage/docs/hosting-static-website#optional_assigning_pages
I found the issue: I had added my CNAME entry on the Cloud Console > Cloud DNS page, rather than on my Google Domains registry. After removing the entry from the Cloud DNS page and adding it to the Google Domains Configure DNS page, my site is up and running.
I am hoping somebody can help me because I am on the verge of frustration tears.
The company I work for has a site hosted on godaddy and has to remain up until I complete the rebuild on hostgator, using the Wordpress theme, Grand Restaurant http://themes.themegoods2.com/?theme=GrandRestaurant
To get around the domain name issue since I cannot change nameservers yet, I had to use the Google Chrome plugin, Virtual Hosts, which has me input the IP and domain, to force access to the site.
Everything was working fine until I needed to use the "content builder." If you look at the Grand Restaurant theme, you can click on Menu. I need to use the "Menu Grid" option in the content builder but it does not work. Whenever I try to add the menu grid, it appears that it is trying to load (showing the gif loading image) yet in never actually loads. I have spent several days and hours going back and forth with host gator and the theme developer.
The theme developer says that the content builder does not work because:
"The WordPress URL and Site URL are set to the domain name. When you are logged in, you are being redirected to the IP, so the browser sees 2 different sites and some functionality ex. AJAX call doesn't allow you to get data from different URLs.
Your WordPress URL and Site URL settings are different from your actual site. You have to change your Domain Name URL and Site URL settings to the IP number."
I did what he said earlier today and it completely broke the site. Spent nearly 2 hours with host gator's tech support to get it back up. All tech support will tell me in regards to the content builder not working is that I need to change the AJAX file to allow the site URL and wordpress URL to be different. I have no idea how to do that!
Any wisdom you all could provide would be greatly appreciated. I have 1700 bakery items that I need upload by the end of July and I do not know what I am going to do if I cannot get the content builder working.
In order for this to work properly you should be using a method of back up and restore. By migrating from one hosting provider to another you could simply deploy the new Wordpress on host gator as a new site and import the Wordpress backup to the host gator with the many different plugins available through Wordpress. The way your trying to complete this is impossible and usually will only work with images and back ups being managed on virtual machines, and VPS. It won't hurt anything on the original up and running site. You mentioned that host gator was able to get the site back up? You shouldn't have to rebuild this if you use a back up and restore method. Everything should fall right into place, you can also test these methods through virtual box, and VMware virtualization products which offer trial versions. Try using a migration method and see if the conflicts still persist with the content builder.
Heres is what I would do if you cannot change the domain over but still use the domain for the dev environment.
Modify your hosts file and use hostgators IP and the company domain as the entry.
Install wordpress to the current company domain by simply entering the domain (Should go to hostgators server since you've added that entry in your hosts file)
With the hosts file modification, you should be able to view the wordpress site thats hosted with hostgator using the live domain name.
This way, when you're launching, theres no need to do any modification on wordpress. Simply change the DNS over, revert your hosts file and the site will swap over seamlessly.
I'm using CloudFlare in my website and it works perfectly. Problem is, I decided to host my static files like JavaScript, CSS, etc. in static.example.com and I don't know how to set up the subdomain.
I already tried adding a CNAME record (static is an alias of example.com) and it didn't work, and as a A record (static points to IPAddress) where IPAddress is the IP address that both www and example.com use.
I'm I doing something wrong? I've waited about an hour for any DNS propagation problems and still doesn't work.
If you have added the subdomain in your CloudFlare DNS settings (settings->DNS settings), then it should start propagating out after a few minutes or so. If you're still having issues with the subdomain, please contact CloudFlare with the domain name so we can look at it.
I had the same issue until I realized I had to click on the greyed out cloud on that row to activate Cloudflare on the subdomain. This is what it currently looks like:
The instructions at the top of the page clearly say you have to do this, but I'm not one of those read the manual types for simple tasks. I guess what would have really got the point across was some sort of notice the very first time I added a subdomain on my account.
Once you've clicked the icon, then the activated proxy will be indicated like this:
Oh well, hope this helps somebody else.
I've searched high and low for a solution to this, with no luck. My host told me they are too busy to help.
Magento 1.4.2 // SSL cert
1- When I add an item to cart, the page reloads and my item is added to cart. [good]
2- Next, I click home, and my items are no longer visible in cart sidebar. [bad]
3- Next, I click "Tops", and my items are still not visible in cart sidebar. [bad]
4- Next , I click "Bottoms" and the items show just fine.
In all cases where the cart isn't visible, I can add https to the URL and the cart loads up just fine. Can anyone help me figure out why my session is being lost between http and https?
I have all my backend web cookie settings set to "no" except for sID.
Also- When a user is logged in, the cart items ALWAYS show on the right. It's only screwy if they're a guest.
Thanks guys, if you need me to post any code let me know.

EDIT: Here is a screenshot of my cookies session in firebug (not exactly sure what I am looking at). Hope this helps.
And here is my Session settings in magento: I have tried just about every variation of turning these on and off.
EDIT!
This issue has actually been narrowed down to a cache issue. We found out that when the cache is dumped/deleted, the website works properly. But after a few minutes of surfing the problem happens again. Does anyone have any idea? (And should i change the question title?)
I'm using a module called Lightspeed from TinyBrick, and it seems the new cache options are messing with our site. =( I'm contacting them shortly.
**EDIT Tinybricks excellent support helped us out. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
Is the session cookie being set to be HTTPS-only? That'll prevent it from being carried over to regular HTTP requests, effectively giving the user two different sessions.
You have in your screenshot two frontend cookie with two domains, one with www and an other one without. Check if you have a correct domain name in the configuration > Web tab > Cookie Management > Cookie Domain (or something close to that). If it's empty set it to ".mydomain.com" and try again.
Check if you don't have different cookie domain in your configuration in the other store views, set them to "use website".
If still doesn't work, What are the values of the fields of cookie management and the cookie validation settings
We were experiencing similar issues where our custom nav (depending on whether a user was logged in or not, was not very consistent across different pages.
We followed the suggestion # http://ka.lpe.sh/2011/06/19/magento-checking-customer-admin-is-logged-in-or-not/ to check if a user was logged base on the frontend session variable before a rendering a particular block, and it seems to have done the trick.
Perhaps you can try something similar.
