Is your DNS properly set?

`vztp.pl` is redirecting to `www.vztp.pl` which is weird.

You need to add an `A` DNS entry at `vztp.pl` pointing to your server IP.

No, don’t complicate stuff even more with cloudflare, it’s unnecessary.

Point the DNS to the server IP, and run `./discourse-setup`. That is all you need.

Maybe they have some special “feature” to let you have a redirect and is interfering with the entries.

You should read their [docs](https://docs.ovh.com/gb/en/domains/web_hosting_how_to_edit_my_dns_zone/) and ask [their support](https://community.ovh.com/en/latest) for help.
