Troubleshooting
My domain is showing a 'Page Not Found' site
The 'Page Not Found' appears on your domain or subdomain when the page does not publish to the web server correctly.
Review the following instructions on how to publish to your domain name:
I just published, but my domain isn’t loading the site yet
Double-check to make sure you have assigned the domain or subdomain to your page on the Pages menu. When you edit a Remixer page, this section displays in the left pane.
DNS changes are required if you are publishing to your domain or subdomain for the first time.
- If your domain’s nameservers are pointed to DreamHost, it automatically updates within 24 to 48 hours.
- If your domain’s nameservers are not pointed to DreamHost, you must update your DNS records at the company that hosts your nameservers.
Remixer requires that your DreamHost domain is set to DNS Only prior to publishing. To set up DNS only, view the following article:
Your site should be visible after a few hours of DNS propagation.
