Re: Configuring Go Daddy DNS Heroku
FYI, we'll be adding support for A records on root domains in the next two-three weeks. Just ironing out a few technical gotcha's over here to make sure it all works smoothly.

Tried to contact GoDaddy techs and find another alternative, like a DNAME record... nupe Any ideas? -- Discussion Notes Support Staff Response Dear Juan C Mendez, Thank you for contacting online support. Unfortunately we do not offer DNAME records within our TDNS interface. I apologize for the inconvenience. Please note that we cannot provide specific support for custom DNS settings. Please let us know if we are able to assist you in any other way. Regards, Mike A.

DNS Confusion
Sorry if this was double posted, I didn't see it showing up on Google Groups. Hey folks, I'm really confused with trying to set up a custom domain for Heroku. I don't understand DNS too well, so any help would be appreciated. Currently here's the setup I have: I'm using GoDaddy and Slicehost, and I want to move hosting over to Heroku while still using Slicehost's DNS management. GoDaddy knows the nameservers are ns1, ns2, and ns3.slicehost.net. On slicehost's DNS management I have the following records: name | data | record type gemcutter.org. proxy.heroku.com CNAME gemcutter.org. ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ASPMX4.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ASPMX5.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. MX gemcutter.org. ns3.slicehost.net. NS gemcutter.org. ns2.slicehost.net. NS gemcutter.org. ns1.slicehost.net. NS Do I even need the NS records anymore? Should GoDaddy be told that my nameservers are still on slicehost? They can forward domains as well, but Im not sure if that's the same. Also, I'd like to have google apps for this domain as well. Is the CNAME for heroku set up correctly? Any sort of transition information would be appreciated, I'm sure that I'm not the only person that's been really confused with trying to move hosting over.

Re: DNS Confusion
Nick, All looks great Putting the ns records on GoDaddy will work fine for your needs. Adding multiple sites is http://reflectivepixel.com/ is at herokugarden http://code.reflectivepixel.com is at tumblr http://photos.reflectivepixel.com is at smugmug mail, calendar, photos are at google Up until this week, I had an A record with * pointing to another server. All other domains went to a server with htaccess rewrite rules to redirect to the appropriate url (e.g.: www, ww, , rewrote to the root domain and photo went to photos) http://skitch.com/kbrock/b3euq/total-dns-control-panel The issue is the implications of the cname record. gemcutter.org. proxy.heroku.com CNAME You can read it as: find the content for gemcutter at proxy.heroku. But more accurately it is saying that gemcutter is basically the same as heroku.com If the two are the same, then does heroku.com or gemcutter.org host the DNS record? Some mail clients assume heroku (the master) will host the DNS record. Good news: proxy.heroku.com's mx records are the same as yours. so this shouldn't be a problem. Godaddy tries to protect you from yourself. This is a pain. On another route, if you tell dns CNAME www is provided by proxy.heroku.com, that is less of a statement. And --Keenan (others - please correct where I went wrong) On Jul 25, 2009, at 6:46 PM, Nick Quaranto wrote: Sorry if this was double posted, I didn't see it showing up on Google Groups.

Solr is a Java program, Heroku only runs Ruby programs. So yes, you need to run it on another server, such as a Slicehost slice, or an EC2 instance (which is preferred since you'll have the lowest latency between your app and Solr.)
