Point DNS to Sandstorm WordPress site

[Otto Fredriksson]

Hi!

I'm trying to connect my domain to a Sandstorm WP-installation. I don't get it... do I have to edit something in WordPress or is the DNS-settings wrong? My domain host helped me set this up and I got no DNS experience at all =/

See attached images for settings and error!

Thanks in advance!

Your TXT record has a slight typo in its subdomain. Instead of `sandstorm-www`, it should read `sandstorm-www.www`. This is because the subdomain you're trying to setup is `www`, and the `sandstorm-www.` part needs to be pre-pended to that. I know, it's a lot of www's all over the place :)

It's easier to understand when your subdomain isn't `www`. For example, the records you would add if your domain was `host.example.com`:

host.example.com IN CNAME PUBLIC_ID.oasis.sandstorm.io 

sandstorm-www.host.example.com IN TXT tm4dtig35w1l6idz7dmm

Thanks Jason, `sandstorm-www.www` works great!

I also got tripped up by this initially. Would it be clearer if it was something else, like perhaps `sandstorm-web` or `sandstorm-static`?

I think a couple of dummy-examples would be great.

Have you guys had any problems with posts? My pages works with the right URL but posts are linked with the sandcat URL. 

[Otto Fredriksson]

Okay, this is strage!

No posts works if there is no post in the menu. but if there is one in the menu, everything is working. 

Error: 404 not found: /category/postname/index.html

Off topic. Why do every page/post have to have /index.html ? Is it not better to just name it to .htm or .html ?

Best Regards,

Hi Otto! I'm not sure yet, but if you can provide steps to reproduce (even better - a grain backup) on the GitHub repository for https://github.com/dwrensha/wordpress-sandstorm (when GitHub comes back online again) that would be great.

This is because WordPress likes to use this "permalink" format:

example.com/page-title

and the best way to do that, in a cross-browser way, is to make /page-title be a directory and /page-title/index.html contain the actual data.

I'm using Divi as theme, that's pretty much it!

I'm having an issue with this as well.

My intention is to put my WP site here: welcome.floworking.org

I receive the following error:

Host "sandstorm-www.welcome.floworking.org" must have exactly one TXT record.

My DNS file is pasted below:

$ORIGIN floworking.org.

I'm having issues getting email to work as well, but that's a post for another thread.

Thanks so much. So excited for Sandstorm!

You appear to have a TXT record for:

sandstorm-www.welcome.floworking.org.floworking.org.

I suspect you want to have a TXT record set for:

sandstorm-www.welcome.floworking.org

instead.

[Devin Balkind]

Brilliant. Way too many extra .floworking.org's everwhere. 

Thanks!
