<![CDATA[Unexpected result opening Surfer app]]>Starting today, my Surfer and other apps have a hash-like string appended to the address bar. When I click the Surfer app, it should open the normal site viewer. Instead, my browser downloads a TXT file with a title containing a set of 8 "random" characters. This started happening after I installed LAMP. I'm thinking it could be a DNS entry issue. I'm not sure. I'm new to Cloudron.

I don't have time right now to upload a file. But I did upload a test index.html file the other day and it worked fine. I added my app locations to the child nameservers page and I'm not getting the TXT file download anymore. I'm only seeing the characters included in the app browser address if I am in the settings section of the apps. I am still getting issues loading pages if I just type in my regular domain and I get the untrusted certificate warning.

  • Is your DNS correct? If you installed surfer at surfer.domain.com , first check if this is pointing to your server. You can run host surfer.domain.com and this should return the IP address of your server.

  • After you have checked above, check the contents of the surfer app via the File manager . You can place a test file there called test.txt and try to access it directly via https://surfer.domain.com/test.txt . Does that work?

I thought the * covered the app locations but maybe I need to add them in the DNS subdomain page? I was also just reading an article that advised to add www redirection in the location section of apps. That might be related.

So yes make sure the DNS points to the correct IP.
