Question
Setup subdomain in digital ocean and namecheap
I had bought a domain in namecheap, and want to setting up my subdomain in digital ocean. Currently I only had one droplet and running ubuntu linux 14.04. My site was running in grunt at null:3000 which is localhost:3000. In apache2 conf, I had used proxypass redirect to my site. Right now, things are getting weird, my domain.com works yesterday, but today doesn’t work anymore.
