Favicon.ico 404 Not Found problem with stealth forwarding

[Johnathan]

I'm using stealth forwarding, and my favicon.ico does not show up on the browser tab. If I inspect the page it shows I'm getting a 404 Not Found error
from NGINX for that file, but I am running Apache. If I load the page with IP address: port instead of using the domain name then the image shows up on the tab and I get no error.

I have this line <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="LP_Icon.png">

Despite this line it still looks for favicon.ico, which is also present in the root.

How can I fix this?

Hello,

Can you provide us the domain name so we can take a look at what is happening.

Thanks!

I was able to replicate the issue, I have reported this to our developers and will respond shortly.

 

[Johnathan]

Thank you. The domain name is reverenddanarchives.com

Hello.
Our developers added the ability to add in the link to the favicon file so it can used that on the new stealth forward page it creates.
Click Edit beside the Stealth record-
Meta Type: select NAME
Name: give it a name
Content: place the favicon image file link ie) http://www.cbc.ca/favicon.ico

best,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
I've edited the stealth record, but it is still not working for me.

Hello,
The record you added is not valid- you cant add an IP into a URL forwarding. It has to go to an actual website, then you can edit the settings I posted to add in the favicon, via the link to the image file on the actual site.

HOST	STEALTH URL	TTL	SETTINGS
reverenddanarchives.com	http://174.85.33.127:1960

I can see the IP working, but its not how it should be set.
Also, you need to add in the actual link to where the favicon lives on the actual server link for the facivon so it can link it.

There is no favicon here.

Sorry to muddy the waters, but the IP address is now 47.151.56.244. I've edited the stealth url and the page comes up.

I'm confused by the responses above but I can tell you I can browse to http://47.151.56.244:1960/favicon.ico and the icon appears.
If I browse to http://reverenddanarchives.com/favicon.ico I get a 404 error from NGINX.

Hello,
You would need to link in the file where the favicon is on the server. You pasted in http://www.reverenddanarchives.com/favicon.ico but that doesn't show any file.
Replace that link with http://47.151.56.244:1960/favicon.ico where your favicon is- within the Stealth forwarding Edit settings.

 

[Johnathan]

Yes, that is how I had it, see above screenshot. And sorry, now my IP is different again, now 47.147.167.55. I've updated the settings with this new IP with no change.

So the image is now at http://47.147.167.55:1960/favicon.ico and stealth settings now show:

In Chrome I loaded the page, then went to 'view page source', and saved all that to a text file as testframe1.html.
I opened the file with Chrome and the page loaded without the favicon.

Then I added the line <link rel="icon" href="http://47.147.167.55:1960/favicon.ico"> before the <META> statements,
and saved it as testframe2.html. When I open this with Chrome then the favicon shows.

The files are attached. Can you add that line the way I did?

Hello,

Apologies, the name of the favicon needed to be faviconlink. I have updated that for you and its now working

 

[zesupport]

Correction- the name needs to be 'shortcut icon'- its working now

 

[Johnathan]

Yes I see it is working!
Thank you so much for working on this.
