I have deployed an app on heroku - http://appsparkler.heroku.com
and created a custom domain for it - www.appsparkler.com
Then, from goDaddy
, where I have purchased this domain name appsparkler.com
, I forward with masking
to http://appsparkler.heroku.com
and redirect 301 (Permanent)
. Screenshot
Then, I made changes to the DNS ZONE FILE
where I added CNAME
and A Host
as per a blog I found on the internet.
This works fine and when I visit www.appsparkler.com
I am redirected with masking
and can also visit the various links with the URL
changing to the link I click on. However, when I browse the webapp with appsparkler.com
i.e. without the www
, I can go to the various links; however, the links in the address bar don't get updated. For comparision, I have added screenshot of address bar
when on home
page, first with www.appsparkler.com
and then with appsparkler.com
. We can see that /home
doesn't reflect in second one. Moreover, even the favicon.ico
doesn't appear in the second one (without www) as we can see...
I have tried searching a lot and also tried trial and errors with different settings and looked for solutions on the web and nothing worked.
Please help. Thank you in advance.
example.com
should just be an external redirect towww.example.com
and then the CNAME record in DNS directs the request to the heroku server?) But you appear to have already solved it - how did you solve it?
