custom domain mapping for azure mvc role works for main page

Recently I have tried to bind custom domain name to azure web role.

I am able to view home page of my myapp.cloudapp.net site with my.domain, but when I try to go by any link /Controller/Action redirect fails. When I try manual type address as Azure MVC role - my.domain/.... my registrant say me this page not exists.What configuration should I apply to fix this (if this is related to azure). I have used this guide. I have specified 

  CNAME www --> myapp.cloudapp.net

  Url Pointer --> http://myapp.cloudapp.net

Something else? Thanks.

Update

   From technical support:

   Hello, 

   I was able to replicate the issue. It appears like when you stealth redirect your 
   domain 'my.domain' http://app.cloudapp.net/ is using some frame breaker  
   code to restrict the access to http://app.cloudapp.net/Account/Login . 
   I suggest you to contact administrators of app://app.cloudapp.net/ regarding the issue. 

   I have tested by stealth redirecting domain 'my.domain' some other URL and it worked fine.

Solution

  • All you should need is the CNAME record for "www". Remove the URL pointer and if your domain registrar allows forwarding, then forward the root domain to www.customdomain.com
