Having an issue trying to point a CNAME to my Digital Ocean droplet
I created a CNAME on DNSimple and pointed it to the IP address of my Digital Ocean droplet: ironman4x4.adamgeorge.com
I've tested that it exists:
→ ~ host -t cname ironman4x4.adamgeorge.com
ironman4x4.adamgeorge.com is an alias for 128.199.176.45.
My Digital Ocean droplet was created using this guide:
The 1-click install creates a default site here which I tried customising the root
and server_name
options:
server {
listen 80;
root /home/rails/current/public;
server_name _ ironman4x4.*;
index index.htm index.html;
client_max_body_size 5M;
location / {
try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @app;
}
location ~* ^.+\.(jpg|jpeg|gif|png|ico|zip|tgz|gz|rar|bz2|doc|xls|exe|pdf|ppt|txt|tar|mid|midi|wav|bmp|rtf|mp3|flv|mpeg|avi)$ {
try_files $uri @app;
}
location @app {
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
proxy_pass http://app_server;
}
}
Not sure why it's not working.
I can't SSH onto the server via ssh [email protected]
, nor does Nginx respond via http://ironman4x4.adamgeorge.com
Not sure why?
Is there anything else I need to configure for either the DNS or or the droplet to get this to work?
