Hi all! I hope you’re doing good, I’m a newbie to all of this
I’m stuck on connecting these three mailgun , with my domain and with the digital ocean
-I have my Mailgun account
-Domain (also have professional email and I want to send emails from this one )
-Digital Ocean Account
So What I have to do
Hi @Zackie
Welcome to Discourse Meta.
The next logical step would be to follow this install guide:
discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub

I am getting an error while installing discourse
port 443 of computer does not appear to be accessible using hostname: example.com

What should I do now ?
Is there a firewall blocking comms on port 443?
You can check the DigitalOcean firewall and your VPS’ firewall to see if that’s the case

I also talked with the domain company and they told me to wait as it can take 24-48 hours to propagate properly. Maybe It will fix the issue
I think it’s easier to install discourse on a subdomain, so www.example.com (or forum.example.com , etc) rather than the root of ‘example.com ’.

Thanks… I’ve done the setup but my website it was fine but after 20-30 mins it showing this
That may be a letsencrypt issue. I found this tip quite useful to certify both www and non-www:
This is to address the problem where you get certificate errors with any redirects or CNAME DNS entries which point to your actual installed Discourse (sub)domain.
If you do not have https configured already (you do if you have done a standard install recently) see Setting up Let’s Encrypt as your first step.
There are two patterns that need to be replaced, one ending in --keylength, and another ending in --fullchainpath (in the actual file, your original domain is before each of these switche…

but I have done a standard install recently and it shows https
also I’m not using multiple domain or sub domain … It’s on my main domain
The box says it’s not secure?
To amend your app.yml:
cd /var/discourse
nano containers/app.yml
Then use the arrow keys to navigate to the right section, and follow the instructions in the quoted post above.
If it doesn’t work, you can edit it out of your app.yml afterwards, and we can try something else.

Thanks for the help MAn … problem was something else … I had an “A” record in my dns which was forwarding to “parked domain” and that why it was giving this error.
