Mapping a domain name to Azure Linux VM App

Question

I followed the typical steps required for mapping my domain name to my Azure Linux Server application. I bought the domain from a local service provider, now my issue is mapping that domain name to my cloud app.

I followed the steps on the following link, but still no result. http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/develop/net/common-tasks/custom-dns/#access-app

I got the name servers for my DNS and applied it to the domain details, still no result. *My application is just in the test phase and hasnt been moved to either staging or production environment. * Is this by any chance the problem ?

Did I miss any steps, such as adding an End Point or creating a DNS server list ? etc ?

Kindly assist as I'm struggling with this for over 5 days now.

thanks in advance Sai Krishna

Answer 1

ok, so you must be having a DNS with you like

yourdnsname.cloudapp.net

You should do the c-name based registration of your dns

create a C-Name record in domain management

HOST - WWW Points to - yourdnsname.cloudapp.net

use the keep-alive time of standard 1 hr. it should just work.
