Free Flarum hosting on an expert platform by FreeFlarum.com

Thanks guys, now I anderstand what is missing !!!

But when I'm trying to add my domain into FreeFLarum settings I've got this :

datitisev

kayoo123 Not sure how your DNS manager works, but I think you need to remove the A record and just leave the CNAME.
Try using @ as the subdomain as well.

kayoo123 But when I'm trying to add my domain into FreeFLarum settings I've got this :

Your CNAME is not correctly configured. Try removing all records except for 1 CNAME record (for the root). And then enter your domain at the FF settings. Nice forum btw!

datitisev SSL certificate is from FreeFlarum.
I'm not sure how FreeFlarum handles that.

It's auto-requested upon linking.

kayoo123

I will !
Thanks for your help

Might also need to wait up to 24 hrs until it fully propagates.

But don't quote on that (that means you too, @datitisev ? )

Still not working on #step1...
When I put only one records CNAME (without subdomaine) to your host, I've got this pop message :
Failed to update zone RRset castleburn.fr. IN CNAME: Conflicts with pre-existing non-CNAME RRset

This is my BIND config :

$ORIGIN castleburn.fr.
@ 3600 IN  SOA ns0.online.net. hostmaster.online.net. 20180815035551 10800 3600 604800 3600
@ 86400 IN CNAME castleburn.freeflarum.com.

I just opened a ticket with my host-manager.

Awesome work, thank you! Got my very own forum in less than 3 minutes! ?

kayoo123 Bind software does not allow SOA and CNAME to co-exist for the same name. But perhaps Bind doesn't allow without a SOA record either, I'm not sure. If all else fails, you could try another domain provider? There are quite a few people who use their root domain with FreeFlarum. Or use www.castleburn.fr.

You're right, my provider gave me the same answer...
It doesn't matter at the moment. I'll use the www subdomain in the meantime.

Thanks for everything !
You guys deserve a cold beer ?

I receive a 500 Internal Server Error upon the click on the Twitter Login after configurating a Twitter App with callback to my customized subdomain and putting in API Key & Secret. Are there any common mistakes I could have made?

EDIT:
Ok, seems that Twitter needs https://mydomain.com/auth/twitter as a callback url.

FYI: FreeFlarum will be migrated to a new server today, due to flakey hardware. You will not have to do anything. Downtime will be a few minutes.

Update: migration postponed to today (22nd August) and has just commenced (10:00 UTC).
Update: migration is finished (10:28 UTC)

Currently FreeFlarum is targetted by a DDoS from roughly 700 Chinese IPs (Alibaba). I'm not sure what their objective is, as they are targeting an empty forum. All requests contain the "Go httpclient" user agent. Luckily for FreeFlarum users, the attack is quite amateurish and there is no noticable impact to the service.

Sanguine Maybe a side-effect from Flarum's own? Hopefully it stays amateur.

arda

jordanjay29 Hopefully it stays amateur

or just ends lol ?

Were the instructions at one point for getting a forum removed? I was looking through this post a little while back, and I remember seeing something, but I can't find it now ?

Ralkage

Frink as far as I know, you'd generally just email info@freeflarum.com, though, you can also download your data as well aka the entire DB.

arda

Ralkage I emailed him but I got no response, the forum I'm no longer using is still online for no reason, filling up his server.

luceos

arda i don't think he minds... He'll get to it in due time.

arda

luceos He'll get to it in due time.

It was like months ago (2 or 3 I guess)

Sanguine

arda that sounds it got lost somewhere, sorry for that! I've not yet found time to create a control panel purge button, but for now:

As admin, create post "DELETE THIS FORUM"
Send notification to info@freeflarum.com and I will purge it manually
