Rollback on Route53 #22

Closed dbeja closed 6 years ago

dbeja commented 6 years ago

Hi,

I've been trying to run the stack on eu-west-1 but it always rollback on Route53:

15:47:52 UTC+0000 | CREATE_FAILED | AWS::CloudFormation::Stack | route53 | Embedded stack arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx was not successfully created: The following resource(s) failed to create: [RecordSet].

How can I debug this error? I'm trying to use a subdomain like sites.mydomain.com, and I already have the hosted zone for mydomain.com created. I didn't created the sites record on route53.

Thanks!

Did you happen to see Closed Issue #15: Terminates and Rollback on Route 53 setup ?

From above, it sounds like you need to create a sites.mydomain.com hosted zone before re-running the template...

dbeja commented 6 years ago

I did but I already have a hosted zone for my domain.com. So I should also create a different one just for sites.mydomain.com?

Thanks!

yes, you will need to create new Hosted Zone for sites.mydomain.com then copy the NS records created there into your main domain mydomain.com via Create Record Set, Name: sites.mydomain.com, Type: NS - Name Server, Value: just copy the NS records from sites.mydomain.com here, then hit create.

ok, perfect it worked, but I asked for sites.mydomain.com and I got www.sites.mydomain.com. Is there a setting on the script to not put on www?

Thanks!

michael-newman commented 6 years ago

What I wound up doing was adding another record in the hosted zone for sites.mydomain.com.

Name: leave as sites.mydomain.com, Type: A - Alias, Value: www.sites.mydomain.com should be in the pick list, then hit create. Once it propagates, you should be able to get to your site w/o the www.

Great, thanks! I did that and worked fine but after that I just pointed the A record of sites.mydomain.com to ELB and then updated wordpress to point the new url.
