Validating your domain settings

Ensure that your domain settings are properly configured before booting up your GitHub Enterprise Server instance for the first time.

All GitHub docs are open source. See something that's wrong or unclear? Submit a pull request.

From a GitHub Enterprise Server administrative account, click in the upper-right corner of any page.
In the left sidebar, click Management Console.
In the left sidebar, click Hostname.
To test your appliance's DNS and SSL settings, click Test domain settings.
If you don't receive a green checkmark next to all entries, review your configuration for the setting that failed. For more information, see "Configuring DNS nameservers."
Under the left sidebar, click Save settings.
Wait for the configuration run to complete.
