  • Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

Hello,
I was using FreeFlarum and I wanted a custom domain to be used instead of 'flarum.cloud'
I tried to use the instructions on the freeflarum.com page to CNAME the domain but it always said
Oops! (domain) does not CNAME to (forum url)

How do I CNAME it? Please help
I am using cPanel

    CoolCookie are you trying to CNAME purpurforum.ml.purpurforum.ml or just purpurforum.ml? CNAMING root domains is not possible with FreeFlarum (as this has been mentioned often recently), and 4 domain levels, or whatever you call it (I'm not a domain expert) are probably not supported either.

    FreeFlarum in general expects a syntax like a.b.c. I haven't looked into domain linking code much, and I probably will before the rebase. But we recommend to use a name like forum.mydomain.tld, which is guaranteed to work almost all the time. Root domains or other formats just tend to cause issues, as CNAME wasn't really built for them

    SKevo thanks for suggestion , i have checked , and figured out the problem is in the config.js . file

    But I also realized that it has already been translated into Vietnamese . While on my forum, it still shows the date and time in English

    I don't know if it's a language pack conflict or something wrong ( not by fof linguist or english pack , tried to disable it ) i also try with another freelarum of my friend and the problem still occurs

    The language pack version (original) same as the one on freelarum

      Hey @Sanguine, could you change to flarum-lang/turkish instead of tolgaaaltas/flarum-ext-turkish and tolgaaaltas/flarum-lang-turkish?

        tolgaaaltas that will be done when we update to Flarum 1.0.4, as that package is for ^1.0.0 only

          tolgaaaltas not yet, but we'll update this weekend. The only things that held us back were extensions and the rebase.

          I have already tested 1.0.4 on separate server with same setup and it worked, so we'll update all forums soon.

          FYI expect a downtime during the update. Further progress and changelog will be posted here

          We are currently going to upgrade all forums to Flarum 1.0.4, FreeFlarum to 3.0 and PHP to 8.0.8. There will be a downtime for all forums, and also for the main page. We don't know how long will it take, but hopefully not so long. Further progress will be posted here.

            SKevo Will some new extensions appear after the update?

              YoF yes

              After nearly 2 hours, the update is now done! All forums just need to be synced, but other than that, everything should work.

              I will now have to fix some small overlooked bugs, and get the documentation up and running. There will be a changelog of everything that had changed, but I'll post it there too after I am done.

              aaronlbpeterman not yet, we need to wait until all forums are synced before we can add new/old extensions.

              FoF Byobu was using the dev-dk/16 branch for beta.16, and I had to remove it in order to allow for the upgrade to be done. I didn't know that it was 1.0.4 compatible back then, and already started syncing the forums (so I didn't want to interrupt it)

                My forum is just displaying a white page, working fine yesterday. Is this something related to the update?

                  Mith yes, all forums must be synced first. Please, be patient and give it some time, the more forums we have, the longer the synchronization is taking.

                  If you need to be synced now, tell me your forum name and I'll sync it for you

                    No problem and no rush! I’m not the most technically literate so I feared I might have done something wrong. Thanks.

                    Just a suggestion, why not make something like this - "If you donate this amount, we will unlock 1k Members on the forum (not just 250).

                    My forum is forum.mednotes.in ! It is down for now
