DigitalOcean deployment issue

Hi,

I have just deployed my Laravel Api and Vue.JS app on DigitalOcean it was working just fain with their given domain (platforma-xgvdt.ondigitalocean.app) but then I started having problems once I connected a domain from ionos (smarteducationpro.co.uk). I have updated the Namespaces on ionos therefore now DigitalOcean handles all the requests related to smarteducationpro.co.uk. Yesterday it was working fain but today it went nuts and I cannot get why is that.

I would appreciate your support here, thank you!!!

@Sinnbeck, smarteducationpro.co.uk doesn't seem to work when using chrome might be because of the wifi connection since on my home connection it was working but office one doesn't.

@tudosm Most likely because of TTL in the DNS.. Try giving it some time :)

@Sinnbeck,

I got the default settings: A and AAAA at 30 TTL while CNAME and NS at 1800 do you think that could be a problem? And by the way it doesn't let me edit the A and AAAA records it says that it is managed by the app.

@tudosm It depends on what it was when you visited the website before the "move". If you are linux you can use the dig command to see what the current ttl timer is

dig smarteducationpro.co.uk

Check the number before IN

I dont know the service, so I dont know how they work with regards to editing dns

@tudosm So right now it is only on one pc you are having issues? Or in one browser on one pc? What is the exact error?

@Sinnbeck, so I have this issue on my laptop on office wifi connection, basically,

Opera opens the website either using VPN or without VPN, and also opens both the www.smarteducationpro.co.uk and without the www.

On Safari and Mozilla doesn't work at all, it redirects me to the domain provider.

On Chrome www.smarteducationpro.co.uk works fine, while https://smarteducationpro.co.uk/ doesn't.

If using my phone connection as a hotspot:

opera works fine On Safari can open the website only without www. On Mozilla doesn't work at all, it redirects me to the domain provider. On Chrome www.smarteducationpro.co.uk works fine, while https://smarteducationpro.co.uk/ doesn't.

@tudosm It sounds like local caching or something similar. Try clearing all cache, and reboot. Or wait until tomorrow
