Re: confused about best practices for CNAME records

[John McCaffrey]

I don't think of it as heroku suggesting that you have to do it with a
CNAME, but Neil's post highlights why you might want to.
 
http://neilmiddleton.com/the-**dangers-of-a-records-and-**heroku

I think of it like apple including their 'time machine' backup software
means you'd buy a backup drive. They aren't saying you absolutely have to
do it, but its a good idea for a variety of reasons.

You can use an A record and the ip addresses, it will work fine, but if
there is an outage and they have to bring your app up on other IPs, you'll
at least have a heads up for what you can do about it.

Personally I like dnsimple.com, so I don't think of it as an extra thing I
have to do, but as an extra reason I like their service, like they are
helping me manage my app in a way that stays current with hosting on a
cloud solution like heroku, openshift, cloudbees, etc.

Cedar push taking a long time

[Ricardo Trindade]

Hi,

We moved an application from Bamboo to Cedar, and everything has been
working great. However, our git pushes, which used to take only a few
seconds, are now taking about 2 minutes.

Is this usual/expected ?

best regards,
Ricardo

Re: confused about best practices for CNAME records

[Justin Collum]

So to use Heroku the way they'd like me to -- without an A record pointing 
to an IP address -- I'll have to use a third party paid service? What the 
heck. The fact that Heroku suggests doing this while the spec doesn't 
support it without workarounds makes me question how important it is. This 
DNS thing has been doing it the same way for quite some time.  

I think I'll just use the A record until we run into a problem. This app 
won't be hurt if it's offline for a half day.

Re: Optimizing production sites -- expires headers and Gzip

[Rampant Fleecer]

Hi Ryan, did you ever find a way to do this?

I found an answer that said all heroku files are gzipped automatically, but 
that was back in 2009. Now when I look at the HTTP headers of my page it 
doesn't say they are gzipped.
I am using php and my local version works fine, I have a root file 
.htaccess with the following in it, but if I view the phpinfo(); under Phar 
it says. I think this is why the files aren't being gzipped, but I don't 
know how to install the zlib extension. 

gzip compressiondisabled (install ext/zlib)
*.htaccess File contents:*


php_value zlib.output_compression on


AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .js
php_value default_mimetype "text/javascript"



AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .css
php_value default_mimetype "text/css"



AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .xml
php_value default_mimetype "text/xml"



Any help would be much appreciated!

Re: WARNING: Cannot replace DATABASE_URL ...

[James Ward]

Make sure you have the DATABASE_URL env var by doing:

heroku config

And check that you have the shared-database addon by doing:

heroku addons

Let me know if that helps.

Re: confused about best practices for CNAME records

[Neil Middleton]

Ideally you want everything to be a CNAME of your Heroku URL (app.herokuapp.com 
etc).  The problem is is that the DNS spec doesn't allow the Apex domain to be 
CNAME'ed.  The solution is to use Zerigo or DNSimple who provide workarounds.
