Hey everyone,
Just need to add an A record to my DNS, to point to shopify, but no matter what I try its not working. The weird thing is, that the A record is listing as 104.18.44.67 which is a CF server.
Tell me I’m doing something wrong here… Settings attached below.
Thanks
It works for me.
The A recorded is proxied which means that it connected to Cloudflare and Cloudflare connects to your site.
but if you check the A record with any tool, for example:
Also shopify is also saying it is not set up correctly, see attached screen.
Oh then click the orange cloud in the DNS screen to turn the proxy off.
The A record shows as Cloudflares IP because it is proxied through Cloudflare so it goes
client -> Cloudflare -> your server
if you turn the proxy off (by making it a gray cloud) then it goes
client -> your server
OK, great, thats now working, thanks Jake!
So is the reason it wasn’t working is because Shopify is not a normal service, and therefore doesnt need all the CF services like say a Wordpress/cPanel site might?
Well, it was working wasnt it? See Jake’s earlier response.
Anyhow, the reason for that message is that they do not expect you to put a proxy in front of their service and their hardcoded IP check failed because of that.
We had implemented CF as a fast way to swap servers when the site was launched.
I think it would be useful for Shopify or CF to have page showing the correct settings when using the two products together for other people who may have a similar problem.
