Problems with POST requests when using CNAME records

datitisev

Ok, so I'm using Heroku to host Flarum. That's not the problem.
I am also using Freenom with a DNS CNAME record pointing to Flarum.

Freenom Domain: http://discuss.node-flarum.tk
Heroku App: http://discussion-flarumjs.herokuapp.com

When I click the sign in / log in buttons (in the modals) while I'm in the Freenom domain, it gives me an error, and prompts me to refresh the page.
The sign up / register button gives me the following error when I use the Freenom domain:

0
POST http://discussion-flarumjs.herokuapp.com/register

null

Similarly, the login button gives me the following error, but only in Freenom:

0
POST http://discussion-flarumjs.herokuapp.com/login

null

Both Sign Up & Login Methods work completely fine in the original domain, meaning Heroku.

Please help. I don't know if I should change the Flarum url to the Freenom domain or not, although I do not want to change it, but I will if I have to.
Thanks! ?

Set the url in your config to match the requested hostname. That should allow for more freedom when using multiple hostnames.

luceos do you mean I should put the Freenom domain in the config?
Sorry, I do not know what you mean with requested hostname.

PS: forgot to mention, right know the url in the config is the heroku app, which was what caused the problem, because I think maybe the headers of flarum of accepted domains for requests needs to include the Freenom domain. I think that way Flarum will allow discuss.node-flarum.tk to use the API. I don't really know.

In php you could set the following as value of url in your config:

    'url' => '//' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],

luceos I can't understand how to use this .
Means i want to know steps of adding custom domain from starting in my flarum.
How i can add custom domain to my Flarum hosted in my shared hosting??
thanks

Note: this is a solution to this specific problem and is not the correct way to setup your flarum installation. You will face issues of you use this solution.

Please set your config.php to a single domain and redirect all other domains to the one you selected. This is the correct way.
