Google Apps For Your Domain. Problems after Hostname change

Said and done. I went to the control panel and defined the new URL. I saved it and it later started working as expected.

The problem I did not expect was that this was going to break all the other URLs I had previously defined. Basically mail.tmro, docs.tmro, calendar.tmro etc were all gone. No trace of them in my HOST RECORDS when logging into enom’s Domain Settings control panel.

Now I had two options:

1. set them up manually (last resort )

2. sort out Google Apps.

So I went back to my Google Apps Control Panel and switched back to default mail, docs, calendar etc and then saved the settings. After that I redefined the URLs to mail.tmro, docs.tmro etc and checked my HOST RECORDS again. This time around the settings were back!

So if you run into a similar issue, don’t panic! Just redefine the URLs. Painful but at least it works.

Cheers…

p.s. the mynewsite.tmro.net still works after redefining the other URLs so it’s all good

UPDATE: It appears that the email MX records were messed up as well! Luckily after updating the MX records I received quite a few emails that had been queued so I imagine nothing got lost…
