Error_Connecting_To_The_Server #8

Closed YvaGithub closed 2 years ago

YvaGithub commented 2 years ago

Hi everyone, I have been experiencing a connection issue when I am trying to reach my server through the browser. Sometimes it would connect sometimes it won't. I am attaching the error message that I have gotten. Thank you, Yvaral error_connecting_to_the_server

Hi @YvaGithub -

Can you look at your DNS settings and see if you have two A Records? If so, delete any A Records that are not pointing to your DigitalOcean server.

I think this section addresses the issue you're seeing:

If you created a domain via nc.me, you may have an existing A Record pointing to Github pages (a free service they offer you when signing up). You want to either edit or delete this record to set up the A Record to point to your DigitalOcean IP. You should not configure things so you have two A Records, one pointing to the Github pages IP and one pointing to the DigitalOcean IP, as this will cause your domain to sporadically switch between what IP address it's using.

If that doesn't do the trick, let me know and we can dig deeper!

Although they were not mapped to the IP address, I did have few records. It works after I deleted them. Thank you!
