Domain move #53

Closed lynnaloo closed 9 years ago

lynnaloo commented 10 years ago

I'm moving my domains in the next month so we might have a day or two of downtime on norfolkjs.org as I'm switching things around.

lynnaloo commented 10 years ago

I'm going to try to do this about Thursday next week after our meetup is over.

lynnaloo commented 10 years ago

I moved Norfolk.js from DnSimple to Cosmotown where I have my other non-io domains. There might be some downtime in the next 24 hours while everything switches over, but then we're good for a while.

@lynnaloo - How did the move go? Is it complete?

lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

All done!

qwo commented 9 years ago

Hmm is the DNS record pointed at github pages?

http://norfolkjs.org/ is down

metaskills commented 9 years ago

Did y'all get caught in this?

qwo commented 9 years ago

this might be the issue. update the record to the ip 199.27.76.133 and it might be resolved

I'm working on it. It's an issue with the transfer.

metaskills commented 9 years ago

I don't know about y'all... but I use DNSimple and my zone files for 757rb.org look like this for the github service. 

ALIAS   757rb.org   3600        757rb.github.io
TXT 757rb.org   3600        ALIAS for 757rb.github.io
lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

The issue with this (and my other domain) was that it was ignoring the DNS records I put in and was redirecting back to DNSimple. I've been busy with other things, but I think I have it fixed now once the DNS propagates.

lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

www.norfolkjs.org is working, but not norfolkjs.org so something is still up with the A record it looks like.

BretFisher commented 9 years ago
  1. Cosmotown servers are saying there are no records for the apex name norfolkjs.org.
  2. Cosmotown likely doesn't support ALIAS types like DNSimple does. GitHub talks about this. You'll need to use an A record.

sysadmin to the rescue.

lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

Thanks @BretFisher! I'm using an A record and a CNAME, but Cosmotown's setup is kind of weird. They say to use * instead of @ for the A record, but that doesn't seem to be working.

*.norfolkjs.org         192.30.252.153  21600
www.norfolkjs.org   norfolkjs.github.io 21600
BretFisher commented 9 years ago

Yea typically * is wildcard (bad for github) and @ for apex. Can you redirect the root? I read that as a feature of theirs... redirect the root to www.norfolkjs.org.

lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

I was missing the "naked" domain, but it looks like it's working now. If someone doesn't mind verifying and then closing this issue:

You will need to delete the Cosmotown IPs under the A Records, the first block of settings in the Zone File 
They will appear as: 
www domain name pointed to 54.225.97.249 
* domain name pointed to 54.225.97.249 
naked domain pointed to 54.225.97.249
BretFisher commented 9 years ago

works for me. A record for apex shows:

norfolkjs.org. 21493 IN A 192.30.252.153
