Having a bit of an issue with a store that has just been set up with shopify. The problem is with cnaming the domain into the shopify subdomain. I have www working just fine so www.no1gadgetstore.co.uk cnames to no1gadgetstore.shopify.com. However, http://no1gadgetstore.co.uk does not resolve and I can't set up a cname for a non www record.
Does anybody have a simple solution to this, as everything I've come across so far is too complicated to even try.
Many thanks
Dave
From one of our support guys:
sounds like he just needs http://no1gadgetstore.co.uk to be a URL redirect to http://www.no1gadgetstore.co.uk - the CNAME should only be on the www. address.

I have a website setup at bryantmakesprog.10b3.com. I also own the domain sneaky.fish. I want my domain to point to this website by pointing to to the url, NOT the ip address. The end result being that visiting sneaky.fish/sample-page renders bryantmakesprog.10b3.com/sample-page but the URL says sneaky.fish/sample-page.
What would be the best way to go about this? I've seen some people have CNAMEs setup, but I'm not having any luck. Here's what I've tried:
To clarify, the domain must point to the subdomain. It is not sufficient to point to 10b3.com.
So there were two parts to this issue.
The first, the CNAMEs worked, it was just a matter of waiting.
The second issue was with the subdomain. sneaky.fish redirected to 10b3.com, and only bryantmakesprog.sneaky.fish would redirect to bryantmakesprog.10b3.com.
The solution for this was to use PHP to determine if a CNAME record exists pointing to bryantmakesprog.10b3.com and to handle that accordingly.
Want to configure sub-domain - www.portfolios.shuttrbox.com
when I check DNS propagation for portfolios.shuttrbox.com, it works fine
whereas when I check for www.portfolios.shuttrbox.com it shows all crosses on https://www.whatsmydns.net
Traffic routes through cloudflare
I have my .htaccess configured to add "www" to my domain shuttrbox.com
Not able to figure why www.portfolios.shuttrbox.com is not being propagated.
It was probably a propagation time issue. It appears to now be working correctly.
actually I added 2 CNAME entries in cloudflare:
1/ portfolios.shuttrbox.com
2/ www.portfolios.shuttrbox.com
That seems to have worked somehow.
Okay so I created a web app and am hosting it on openshift. Right now, they just gave me a CNAME something like myapp-someappname.rhcloud.com. So they told me to use that CNAME to redirect to my domain.
Now on GANDI I bought a .com domain. Another thing is, I didn't realize there's much of a difference between www.website.com and just website.com, so the one I bought was just website.com. Now I have no idea how to redirect both of them to the www one.
For the CNAME I entered in gandi in expert mode www 10800 myapp-someappname.rhcloud.com. (with the dot at the end).
I woke up this morning, it's still not working. Also, when I go to www.website.com (Btw, website.com isn't my website, I'm just saying as an example) it just says app not found on server. When I go to just website.com, it actually takes me to gandi and says that the owner parked there or something.
So, what's the difference, and why does it say that?
How do I just SIMPLY get my website to work? I hosted it on openshift, have the CNAME, and at gandi I bought a .com domain with NO www in the front, so I don't know much about that. How do I just simply get this to work? I am so frustrated.
Here's a similar question regarding Heroku instead of Openshift, but you might easily be lost in the detailed configuration.
To simplify things, I'd recommend using Cloudflare, a Content Delivery Network, which is what I use.
Follow these steps to set it up: How to Use a CDN with Your OpenShift Application
I want to redirect a subdomain of a domain I have on CloudFlare, to a Google Calendar (HTML/embed version).
I assumed I needed to use Page Rules to do this, which I have done by following CloudFlare’s documentation. However just following these instructions did not work for me. Apparently I need to add the subdomain to my DNS records on CloudFlare, but I don’t know how to set this up correctly since I have no server or IP to point it to (or I’m just confused as to why I need to even point it to something when I just want to forward a URL).
As mentioned I have no server to point it to – and thus can’t use a .htaccess solution – so don’t know what record type I should be using to use to just have the redirect working
I've had some success just using google.com as the CNAME record, then using a Page Rule to redirect everything on that domain. Because CloudFlare changes the DNS entry to its servers anyway (when you do the orange cloud thing) nobody will know.
I don't know if you could do that directly from cloudflare, but you can solve this using your hosting.
Point subdomain to your hosting server sub IN A 1.2.3.4 via cloudflare
Create sub.domain.com on you hosting
Place redirection script in index file in subdomain sub.domain.com document root:
<?php
header( "Location: http://docs.google.com/your-url-and-so-on" ) ;
?>
"subdomain to my DNS records on CloudFlare, but I don’t know how to set this up correctly since I have no server or IP to point it to"
This doesn't make much sense. A subdomain has to point to a record of some sort (A record or CNAME), so the subdomain wouldn't resolve without a record type of some sort. In order for a PageRule to work, two things have to happen:
The record has to be in your DNS settings.
The record has to have our proxy running over it.
It might be easier to figure out with the actual subdomain in question & what you're trying to forward to specifically.
So CloudFlare does support this through PageRules, you just need to get the URL correct.
I have a blog on Tumblr (faithfullforever.tumblr.com) which uses the custom domain www.mariannefaithfull.fm. Yesterday I shortly deactivated the custom domain on Tumblr to export content.
When I tried reactivating the custom domain on Tumblr it did not work anymore and it looks like they changed the way you have to set up things on your domain provider, so I had to fiddle with things over there. I managed to change the IP so that it points to Tumblr.
When you open www.mariannefaithfull.fm you get to Tumblr, but not my blog. The Tumblr settings page is giving me the following message when I test the domain.
I just want to make sure that this isn't a problem with the way I have set up things on my provider, but simply the waiting period of up to 72 hours. Tumblr's FAQ is not a very great help to me nor did my research on Google bring me any further on understanding how to set up a CNAME.
This is what the panel for changing records looks like on my provider. What exactly do I have to change/fill in to so that Tumblr can read the CNAME?
Name, TTL, Type, Priority, Value
Check on http://www.whatsmydns.net/. Is IP still pointing to tumblr or your own.
I had exactly the same problem just a couple of days ago. Though it's back to normal now so I suggest waiting until tomorrow; it should resolve itself :)
Judging from the screenshot you provided of your DNS interface, I think you want the following:
Name TTL Type Priorität Wert
www 10800 CNAME domains.tumblr.com.
Your subdomain is www and you want it to point to domains.tumblr.com.
The trailing dot here is important, otherwise www would become a CNAME for domains.tumblr.com.mariannefaithfull.fm, which would not be helpful :o)
