I own the following domain name: joynr.co

I've configured a subdomain: promoter.joynr.co

But sometimes, it's just not working, like a DNS error. Just like if it was still propagating. But it's been a week now :/

Where should I start looking ?

my apache confd files ? .htaccess ? or some configurations at AWS ? It's hosted a AWS, and domain name registered at godaddy.

I've followed this threat to configurer AWS/Go Daddy

Also, I've configured the confd so when accessing promoter.joynr.co you browse a different folder/website than when going to joynr.co (in /var/www ).

.htaccess is empty

Many Thanks

Any help would be much appreciated :)

Thanks

    The DNS entry promoter.joynr.co doesn't seem to exist. Check in Route 53 if you've defined it, post details if so. – Josip Rodin Jun 25 '15 at 21:07
  • Thanks Josip, I've edited my question, here is all I have in Route 53 for promoter.joynr.co . Note that I also have a host on for joynr.co . Is there any security issues I should be aware of posting this to public on SO ? Many Thanks – Miles M. Jun 26 '15 at 13:05

    It seems to be working now...? As for security issues, is this supposed to be a public website? – Josip Rodin Jun 26 '15 at 15:03

You have to have promoter NS records within the joynr.co domain, in order for the eponymous subdomain to be able to be recursively resolved.

Apparently in Route 53 you just do it the old-fashioned way - take the NS records you see in the promoter.joynr.co domain and copy&paste them into the parent domain, cf. http://github.com/toddm92/aws/wiki/Route-53-Subdomains

  • Thank you very much, I've seen much more detailed documentations than the one you shared with in the end less information. Thanks for sharing. I think it did the trick ! Simple and straight forward :) – Miles M. Jun 29 '15 at 10:57
