How to configure google app engine when your site is deployed on Heroku and uses CNAME for naked domain?

When we configure Heroku App to our domain we configure it using CNAME records. This means two entry in our DNS records, one for naked domain or xyz.com and other for www.xyz.com.

Now, if you want to receive mails over email ids configured with same domain with google apps, gmail then you need to configure MX records for xyz.com. Please see the previous post on this topic .

But there is a problem here, as CNAME record has higher priority, your domain wont return MX rule and always return CNAME rule and MX record validation would fail on the Google Domains page.

So, how to solve it:

Have A records entry if possible, with heroku this is not possible.
Remove CNAME record from DNS entry for xyz.com and configure google domain, naked redirect to www.xyz.com.
Remove CNAME record from DNS entry for xyz.com and use Alias from Domian Control Panel.
Remove CNAME record from DNS entry for xyz.com and use Domain Forwarding service for xyz.com to www.xyz.com on the Domain Control Panel. This would be like a 301 redirect.

Hope this helps.

Why India Hasn’t Built Its GPT Moment (Yet)

India has the world’s third-largest startup ecosystem, a thriving developer base, and a mobile-first population larger than the US and Europe combined. Yet, no GPT-4. No DeepMind. No Amazon-style platform. Why? Innovation Isn’t Accidental—It’s Engineered The Zerodha Daily Brief recently asked why India hasn’t built a global product company like Apple. The key argument: India isn’t building for the world. It’s solving for local constraints, scale, and affordability—but global scale requires deep IP, design, and tech differentiation. It’s not just about software, it’s about systems thinking. More importantly, it answers the question: Why do countries innovate? The answer isn’t just genius or ambition—it’s incentives and ecosystems. The U.S. Defense Department, for example, accounted for nearly 70% of federal R&D funding during the Cold War. China has pumped billions into semiconductors and AI with long-term national alignment. These aren’t short-term bets—they are strategic, delibe...

Problems with mysql.sock

Sometimes while working on Linux, mysql.sock may get deleted by mistake due to some softwares.. in such cases any access to mysql wont be possible as the sock file defines the socket connection for mysql. It will give an error of the following type: ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2) In such cases follow these steps to reconfigure mysql: Delete the log files with the names: ib_logfile0, ib_logfile1 and ibdata1 in the /var/lib/mysql directory Then type: "mysqld_safe --user=mysql &" This will automatically create mysql.sock file and even the new logs files. This is a very simple solution which I used recently and decided to share with you people.
