Newbie Questions: DNS setup for pointing 2 servers to same domain

sijad

the good news is forum.singletrackbc.com points to 159.203.23.129 now
not sure how did you config nginx, but you can try to change server_name to forum.singletrackbc.com in nginx config and try again
after did make sure it work also update url in flarum config.php to forum.singletrackbc.com

datitisev For me, the only thing that appears is the image... just so you know.

That's all that is up there, for now.

Thanks, I will look into that.

ron_jeremy To me, http://forum.singletrackbc.com doesn't work.
It redirects me to a search of the domain (my internet provider's search engine).

http://singletrackbc.com seems to also have problems, I don't know if it is just me.

datitisev singletrackbc.com

yes but ping command shows forum.singletrackbc.com is pointing to 159.203.23.129 so DNS server works probably

ron_jeremy

Looks like the changes simply needed some time to propagate. I did not have to make any changes to any Flarum or Nginx files.

Thanks @sijad and @datitisev for your help.

ron_jeremy It doesn't work.
See:

POST http://159.203.32.129/login

null

That is what I get when doing a request ?

You have to change the url field in config.php to either http://forum.singletrackbc.com or to '//' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'],

Cleaner:

1) To forum url, only can perform any action via this url

`url` => 'http://forum.singletrackbc.com`

2) Can perform any action from any domain, not secure

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

datitisev You. Are. The. Man. Thanks very much!

datitisev

ron_jeremy I just know because I had exactly the same issue, but with CNAME records instead of A records ?
Glad you were able to solve it ?

EDIT: Just checked, it does work ?

Also you should probably disable domain forwarding in GoDaddy just to be sure, setting the A record is enough.

Can you elaborate, explaining why I should disable (sub)domain forwarding?

Kakifrucht

ron_jeremy because there is no need for it. This forwarding function is a custom go daddy feature that simply does a http redirect. It can be convenient in some cases, but it's not a DNS function. You already set the A record on the subdomain, that is sufficient.
