Heroku Domain - my own domain is added as suffix to end of the heroku domain












0














I'm having a weird issue whereby after I added the CNAME record with my domain registrar, and I run the "host" command in terminal, my domain lighttree.co.za, is added as a suffix at the end of the heroku domain, which I know (and according to heroku docs) should not be there.



$ host ispprov.lighttree.co.za

ispprov.lighttree.co.za is an alias for classical-apple-
j39juha3sy7h7wnzhso39572.herokudns.com.lighttree.co.za.
classical-apple-j39juha3sy7h7wnzhso39572.herokudns.com.lighttree.co.za
has address 197.242.146.244


What have I done wrong?

          The way DNS work, the CNAME value will append your domain name by default.
          You can resolve this by adding a dot (.) at the end of your CNAME value.



          In your DNS provider configuration, replace the CNAME value to be:



          classical-apple-j39juha3sy7h7wnzhso39572.herokudns.com.


          Don't forget the dot at the end :-)
