Unexpected result opening Surfer app

[dreamingofadmin]

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.

Since apps on Cloudron are isolated from one another, I don't think this is surfer related as such. So yes make sure the DNS points to the correct IP.

@nebulon I set up the DNS through Cloudron as Wildcard with one regular and one with * before it. 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.

@dreamingofadmin I would debug this step by step.

• 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?

@girish The terminal command comes back correctly. 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.
