I have 2 servers on which one have wordpress site on root domain `example.com` and i want to open a discourse forum on other server on my subdomain `forum.example.com`. And my root domain is using cloudlflare.
So when i tried to add a dns of forum and pointed it to the new server, it still shows nothing. I dont know why , i know this is somewhat off topic. But please i am trying to figure this out from couple of weeks.
When i visit the `forum.example.com`, it shows me the cloudflare page but says the host in not working. I also added the subdomain in my digitalocean panel still nothing
