I’ve moved my WordPress site from GoDaddy to OpenShift. All was working just fine with: dixons-visualwebfoundry.rhcloud.com
However I need to point the DNS across. I did as follows:
- Placed a forward on the DNS for dixons.net to dixons-visualwebfoundry.rhcloud.com
- Updated the CName for www to dixons-visualwebfoundry.rhcloud.com
It looks like it is forwarding
In WP, I used phpMyAdmin to change the two URLs to http://dixons.net
No when I go to dixons.net, I get the new page but without the formatting (I suspect the links need to be updated) but if I try to get to dixons.net/wp-admin , I get a browser error and dixons.net/wp-login-php just times out.
You want to create a cname instead of using a forward.
You want to have a CNAME that points dixons.net to dixons-visualwebfoundry.rhcloud.com for everything to work properly. Try reading through this section on the Developer Portal: https://developers.openshift.com/en/managing-domains-ssl.html
