New account activation link uses unknown hostname

FYI, the link that is sent out for activating a new discuss account is incorrect. The hostname in the link I received is discuss-new.appium.io. However, this hostname cannot be resolved. I was unable to use the link to activate until I removed -new from the hostname.

IE., this didn’t work:
http://discuss-new.appium.io/u/activate-account/code

but this did…

http://discuss.appium.io/u/activate-account/code

Hi, Aleksei,

It looks like that thread has been closed and I am unable to add to it. Suggestions?

@jlipps is it a problem with domains?

Not the domain, but the hostname. The activation link I received should have been “discuss.appium.io”, but it came through as “discuss-new.appium.io”. The latter can’t be resolved.

Looks like we have a configuration error. If you change the link to “discuss.appium.io” instead it should work in the meantime. We’ll try and fix ASAP.

@jlipps same problem with attachments e.g. https://discuss-new.appium.io/uploads/default/original/2X/d/d2873a63808d4d0dcb50ec6eea868dabbf6df157.txt

and look like screenshots also :slight_smile: and NO SMILES :frowning:

@Aleksei looks like the domain name is hard coded into the db when objects are created. we’ll add a permanent redirect for everything beginning with discuss-new later on, so hopefully that will fix the problem.

Permanent redirects should be in place but let me know if you are still experiencing issues.
