Hi all, I followed the tutorial to install discourse on a digital ocean droplet which works great. It was installed using discourse.mydomain.com but now I want to move it to mydomain.com without the subdomain. Obviously I set the dns records correctly and checked if they were actually changed by …

[изображение] bjrno: 2a06:2ec0:1::120 I think this is the culprit… I haven’t removed the old ipv6. Now wait for the rate limit :frowning:

Did you read the documentation on domain changes? [изображение] Change the domain name or rename your Discourse Self-Hosting bookmark This guide explains how-to change the domain name of your Discourse site, and includes information about setting up DNS change…

Yeah I did exactly that. Somehow the droplet / discourse installation doesn’t respond to the right domain.

How many times did you try to change the domain? Are you using let’s encrypt? Are you using any kind of proxy server, or Cloudflare?

By now I’ve changed my domain multiple times over the course of a couple of hours (although it obviously also wasn’t working when I changed the domain the first time). I am using Let’s Encrypt indeed. I followed the installer and it was enabled by default. I didn’t enter the let’s encrpyt mail addr…

Changing DNS records can take anything from 4 to 24 hours to update. It’s not an immediate thing. There are ways to shorten the wait period, but that’s up to the domain Provider

DNS wasn’t the issue. The domains all pointed to the right IP. Checked with dig and ping from both my Mac and the digitalocean droplet cli.

Checked the logs after a rebuild and it seems there is an issue with Let’s Encrypt. Does anyone know what can be causing the errors? There is also a let’s encrypt certificate on the old server. run-parts: executing /etc/runit/1.d/letsencrypt [Sun 04 Oct 2020 09:53:54 AM UTC] Using CA: https://acme-…

When manually requesting the certificate (found the procedure on this page ) I get the same error for fpv-racing.nl. For discourse.fpv-racing.nl I get ‘success’. By now I seem to have hit the rate limit for this hour (too many failed authorizations recently).

It was indeed the issue. Never paid attention to the ipv6 settings… Thanks for your input guys :slight_smile:
