DNS configuration isn't right #3

Closed atroutt closed 10 years ago

atroutt commented 10 years ago

Right now the DNS is set up so that http://www.wearetechwomen.com/ and http://wearetechwomen.com/ both redirect to http://wearetechwomen.herokuapp.com/ but I'd rather that the url didn't have "herokuapp" in it when you land on the site.

I read through https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains and tried setting up our domain as they suggested (CNAME from the www subdomain to heroku) but it just ended up as a 400 error.

When I added a custom domain name to a heroku app that was bought through NameCheap it took 3-4 days for my-app.herokuapp.com to redirect to mydomain.com. Maybe that's the problem?

atroutt commented 10 years ago

Maybe, but it seems to be propagating pretty quickly (from redirecting to getting 400 error in a few minutes)

okay I think I got it! I followed these instructions: http://itsybitsybytes.com/using-a-namecheap-domain-for-a-heroku-application/ which I swear is exactly what I was trying before, but whatever.
