Heroku Custom Domain Not Working

Question

What is the correct way to connect a Heroku app with a custom domain?

This is how I did it in the past:

1. Point Godaddy\'s DNS to heroku\'s provided t

Answer 1

I kept skipping this step because the custom domain already showed up in my Heroku app. Ran this and it started working.

heroku domains:add www.yourwebsite.com

Bonus: Want every page to be secure SSL? Use this awesome NPM package https://www.npmjs.com/package/force-ssl-heroku

Answer 2

Heroku domains:add www.yourwebsite.com --app <app name> 

This is the best way to do it as it needs to know which specific app to point to.

Answer 3

This worked for me, but I had to include --app <app name> at end of the command. Like this:

heroku domains:add www.yourwebsite.com --app <app name>

For the app name, it is the app name you used when creating the app in Heroku.
