Domain DNS is pointed uncorrectly but subdomain is ?

[lucastucious]

Hello. I'm trying to setup a server, and I was able to add subdomain.domain to domains tab, and DNS were good.

But now I want to add classic domain to it but it say it's not pointed correctly... Nothing more.

When I retry even the subdomain, it says the DNS are not pointed correctly... But it works.

How can I have more logs tu track if it's DNS issue or swiftwave issue ?

Tried :

• restarting host
• restarting swiftwave service
• removing and re-addind the domains entries

So swiftwave do a very basic check.

It send a http request to your domain

http://<domain>/.well-known/pre-authorize

If it returns OK, that means swiftwave can verify it. You can try that yourself, what's the response you are getting.

Common problems can be -

• Local DNS Cache on Deployed Swiftwave Server
• Proxy Not running. In your case, that's probably not the issue because you are able to add one subdomain already.
• If you are using Cloudflare DNS, ensure to use DNS Only mode.

If you still not able to resolve the issue, give some more info on the issue. Some steps to replicate.

The thing is, subdomain is just a CNAME rule of the domain.

When I enter http://<domain>/.well-known/pre-authorize I get an error 400

Does the DNS cache destroyed when the service/host restart ?

Does the DNS cache destroyed when the service/host restart ?

It completely managed by OS, swiftwave doesn't interfare with that.

You can SSH to server and do dig <domain> or dig CNAME <domain> to check the entry.

Usually it gets destroyed once TTL set by your DNS provider come to 0. You can clearn it up in many way, but that completely depends on your OS and the software running for DNS.
