Hi
We are trying to setup UAT environment on different subdomains on the same domain. So basic subdomains work however studio subdomain is just appended to the base domain so it leads to our production studio.website.com. is there a way to set this to work for example as uatstudio.website.com while preserving functionality (for example “view in studio” button should lead to uatstudio.website.com, etc)?
We are using tutor and Palm release.
Thanks
edX requires at least four DNS entries to work correctly, a primary and three sub domains.
Typically done with an A record for the primary domain and a CNAME record for the subdomains pointing back to the A record
Meaning for your live site you’ll perhaps have:
lms.yourlivedomain.ltd
preview.lms.yourlivedomain.tld
studio.lms.yourlivedomain.tld
apps.lms.yourlivedomain.tld
and then for your beta test site you’ll have:
uat.yourlivedomain.ltd
preview.uat.yourlivedomain.tld
studio.uat.yourlivedomain.tld
apps.uat.yourlivedomain.tld
If the Live and UAT versions are hosted on separate servers then the A record for each primary domain will point to each server’s IP address.
If they are both served from the same server then they’ll both share an IP, this assumes that you are running a multiplatform setup.
In practical terms, you should first configure your DNS records, as explained by Joel above. Then, run tutor local launch again. And when asked about the hostname for the studio, you should type uatstudio.website.com.
Thank you Joel and Regis, with your help I managed to get it working. I tried to mark both responses as “solution” however it allows me to only select one as a solution.
