Heroku and GoDaddy DNS configuration

I have been struggling to configure my Heroku to point to my domain name registered with GoDaddy.

I've setup my Heroku domain: herokudns

And I've configured my CNAME www to point to www.ithhero.com.herokudns.com dnszonefile

So far all tutorials/examples I've seen have had a different DNS target e.g. www.ithero.herokuapp.com . And even though I have followed the steps no results have been yielded. Godaddy and Heroku have been bouncing responsibility between them when raising an issue with either.

What am I doing wrong?

You postet it a while ago so I assume you found a solution already, but you should only change your CNAME value from:

www.ithehero.com.herokudns.com

to

ithehero.com.herokudns.com

This is definitely an issue on GoDaddy.

If you try the following, you can see that the domain has been setup correctly from Heroku's side:

curl -v -H "Host: www.ithehero.com" www.ithehero.com.herokudns.com

Also, if you check your DNS resolution, your CNAME's haven't been propagated at all: https://www.whatsmydns.net/#CNAME/www.ithehero.com

I would go back to GoDaddy and get them to have a look at this.
