hi

[twilit sand]

how long does it take for a domain to work, it's been like 3 hours now and i still get "redirecting you to www.is-a.dev"

[rancid widget]

oc/faq

[severe vortex]

Why does my domain still redirect to the is-a.dev website?

The most common solution is clearing your browser's cache. A guide on that can be found here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050

[twilit sand]

ah

[digital jasper]

depends if PR has actually been merged also

[twilit sand]

it was merged

[severe vortex]

bros github username is ihategithub 💀

[twilit sand]

yes

[digital jasper]

oh, then its cache issue

[severe vortex]

seems fine to me, but you need to configure the domain in glitch for it to work

[twilit sand]

i cleared my cache and now it does this

[severe vortex]

.

[twilit sand]

lemme show you what glitch gives me

hold on editor loadin

[oblique jackal]

@digital jasper can i handle this pwease

:3

(im desperate to get helper please)

[digital jasper]

uh if you know the answer, sure

i already know it but you can go ahead

[twilit sand]

this is an html project so i cannot use fastly

[oblique jackal]

can you show a full picture

[digital jasper]

@oblique jackal this is the issue btw, guess what needs to be fixed here

[oblique jackal]

ohhh

ssl

[digital jasper]

mhm

user needs to add ssl to the website (if possible)

[oblique jackal]

isnt that a is-a.dev issue tho?

[digital jasper]

.dev is a top level domain, so it requires SSL

[oblique jackal]

oh

true

@twilit sand you need ssl for your subdomain

need recommendations for free ssl?

[digital jasper]

if you cannot add SSL, consider using github or cloudflare pages

[twilit sand]

how do i do that in a glitch html project

[oblique jackal]

wait

its a index.html project

why not change to clouflare pages or github pages

like cutedog69 suggesed?

[digital jasper]

first lets see if he can even add ssl

[digital jasper]

domain settings?

[twilit sand]

there is none

[oblique jackal]

cutedog just let him switch

it will save him the sweat and tears

[digital jasper]

fine

[digital jasper]

switch to one of the providers here

[twilit sand]

you click tools and then custom domains and then this pops up

ok

[oblique jackal]

yes

need help?

on setting it up?

[twilit sand]

i used gh pages before

[oblique jackal]

alright

but first

send a PR

to change the cname to the repo one

[twilit sand]

so to smt like ihategithub9000.github.io/myreponame

[oblique jackal]

no

just

make a new repo

and publish your files there

[twilit sand]

ok

[digital jasper]

you'd need to add ihategithub9000.github.io as CNAME

[twilit sand]

ok

[digital jasper]

if you want to have the repo name something else, then please just give a preview of the website in the PR

[oblique jackal]

doesn't he need the repo first?

[digital jasper]

yes, but if you want to connect the domain to the repo you would need that cname

[oblique jackal]

alright

[twilit sand]

so i just make my repo name this

[oblique jackal]

uh

[digital jasper]

you can

[oblique jackal]

yeah

[twilit sand]

okay i made a gh pages repo and uploaded my website https://ihategithub9000.github.io/
so now i change the cname thru bot to ihategithub9000.github.io ?

[oblique jackal]

yes

[twilit sand]

k

[oblique jackal]

or through a PR

doesn't matter

just change the CNAME

[severe vortex]

can you change it through bot tho

[digital jasper]

im not sure

[severe vortex]

i think you can only create nd delete

[digital jasper]

you could also delete the fork and then do /register

[digital jasper]

though it wont work anyways

since the domain is technically claimed

you'd need to do it the manual way

[twilit sand]

ok so i change the .json in my fork and do pr

[severe vortex]

yes

[digital jasper]

what user above said

[twilit sand]

couldn't i also just delete and register

but ok i make pr

[digital jasper]

you can also do that, do whatever works for you

[twilit sand]

i sent a pr

https://github.com/is-a-dev/register/pull/14714

[severe vortex]

PR/Issue
