Hey guys, I’m trying to get a forum started on a subdomain ([forums.agent49.net](http://forums.agent49.net)). I’ve literally tried installing 15+ different times and I get the same issue. Screenshot below; I’m using Mailgun and a Digital Ocean droplet.

Any ideas what the issue is? I’m certainly not a coder, so dumb it down for me if possible.

This is a screenshot of Your app.yml, You should probably copy/paste the error that you’re getting while installation.

You have the Cloudflare thing enabled. Go to Cloudflare DNS and make the orange cloud gray.

Wait a bit and try again after that.

Thanks, I had a couple that were orange. I’ve changed them as you suggested and will try again in a bit.

Adding to this, FYI, you can use the preformatted text (also called code block) feature. You paste text/code between three backticks (also called acute, grave accent, left quote, open quote, or back quote) on lines before and after the pasted text.

See [Commonmark help](https://commonmark.org/help/) for an example:

```plaintext
Text/code

```
