I am attempting to point my domain to Shopify. The domain is currently with Homestead and I am rexeiving errors. I have included the screenshots of the errors. Thanks for any help; really need the site up ASAP.
Topic summary
A user is experiencing errors while attempting to point their domain from Homestead to Shopify and needs the site operational urgently. They provided screenshots showing DNS configuration and error messages.
Diagnosis:
- DNS records appear mostly correct, though the ‘www’ CNAME record may be missing a trailing period
- The domain currently still points to a non-Shopify site (naturesheadbutter.com), confirming DNS changes haven’t propagated yet
Recommended solution:
- Wait up to 48 hours for DNS propagation to complete
- Shopify admin will continue displaying errors until changes fully take effect
- If issues persist after 48 hours, contact Homestead directly for DNS troubleshooting, as this would indicate a problem on their end
Status: Ongoing - awaiting DNS propagation. User acknowledged the advice.
The screenshot of your DNS records looks to be correct (the ‘www’ cname record is missing a period though – not sure if that’s just how it shows on Homestead or not though).
It can take up to 48 hours for domain name DNS records to take affect. The Shopify admin will continue to show the error messages until the changes have fully propagated. You probably just need to wait until the changes take affect.
Otherwise, if it’s still not working after 48 hours, then you’d want to reach out to Homestead directly, for help with troubleshooting the DNS record changes. This would definitely be an issue on Homestead’s end, and not Shopify’s.
I just took a look at naturessheabutter.com, and I can confirm that it’s still pointing to a non-Shopify site, so the records definitely haven’t updated yet.
Thanks so much!
