I'm a designer trying to put up my first site on Github Pages.
Configure my GitHub Pages user page site,willmillar.github.io
, to work with Hover domain (willmillar.com
or www.willmillar.com
)
I tried to follow the GitHub documentation and added one CNAME
record to my DNS setup which points www
to willmillar.github.io
(screenshot of DNS setup).
I also have a CNAME
file in my willmillar.github.io
repo root which contains www.willmillar.com
Tried to set up an Apex domain by pointing A
records to 192.30.252.153
and 192.30.252.154
, as well as several other solutions posted on stackoverflow. However, I don't really know what I'm doing here.
I have been testing all of my changes with the dig
command from the Github documentation. But I get the same result every time:
$ dig willmillar.com +nostats +nocomments +nocmd
; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P1 <<>> willmillar.com +nostats +nocomments +nocmd
;; global options: +cmd
;willmillar.com. IN A
The domain currently doesn't work and I have been getting page build error emails from Github which say that "[my] site's CNAME record should point to your-username.github.io
, but do not".
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
nicksuch was right. It turned out the nameservers records were still pointing to the old ones.
OP's reply in the comment:
@nicksuch you are spot on. I talked to Hover suport, and they pointed out that my nameservers were still pointing to old GoDaddy nameservers from when I transferred the domain. I didn't think to check there! After changing back to Hover nameservers, everything is working correctly. Thanks for your help!
Problem solved.
