Failure (Re)directing new CF URL to my Notion Website URL

[margrethefner]

What is the name of the domain?

caminocreativitypathway.com

What is the error number?

No error number

What is the error message?

This site can’t be reached Check if there is a typo in caminocreativitypathway.com. DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN

What is the issue you’re encountering

Seemed simple, followed Rules steps on CF Doc, but it just didn’t work URL redirect parameters | Cloudflare Rules docs

What steps have you taken to resolve the issue?

Tried with different browsers. I don’t have enough experience to know what else to try. It seemed so simple and straightforward.

What are the steps to reproduce the issue?

Not sure

You don’t have a DNS record for caminocreativitypathway.com…
https://cf.sjr.org.uk/tools/check?1bcf86a8d3b8471dbfbd8f659316c0a2#dns

Create a proxied DNS record for @ as an AAAA record pointing to 100:: as you are just redirecting.

Darn it, I don’t see how to edit this. I didn’t mention a couple of things:

• I registered the URL a while ago, and don’t know if there’s was something I was supposed to do at that point that I maybe didn’t do…a DNS setting? This is not my wheelhouse!
• I set it up as a Temp redirect. I’m not sure if that detail is important.
  Thanks for your help!

Hi - I was just adding a note while you were posting… Thanks for your reply but I don’t know what it means. Can you direct me to some instructions “For Dummies”?

[sjr]

Follow steps 1 and 2 in this guide…

Redirect example.com to www.example.com using Single/Dynamic Redirects

Background: Redirect example.com to www.example.com (root/apex to www subdomain) using Single Redirects (also called Dynamic Redirects). Looking for the opposite? Redirect www.example.com to example.com using Single/Dynamic Redirects

Prerequisites

Have an active and setup website in Cloudflare. Transfer your website to Cloudflare <a href="https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/full-setup/setup/">today</a>, or use the Cloudflare Registrar to register a <a hr…

thanks for that, and I did the first step, but I am lost on the Rules, starting at step 4. There are many options on the page that aren’t specifically mentioned in the instructions - I am very ADHD, so easily overwhelmed and this is all in language that I don’t understand at all. I really appreciate your help, but I really do need the “for Dummies” version! … Also, I don’t know what happens if I make mistakes here…

[sjr]

If you already set up a Redirect Rule, you only need steps 1-2 to set up the DNS which was your problem.

If you are unsure if you have set things up correctly, you can post a screenshot of your Cloudflare DNS records and Redirect Rule as easier to check.

[margrethefner]

I’m so grateful you are here - it looked like there was a lot more to it than what I had done already in the Redirect Rule settings… but anyway, it’s still not working. Is it a matter of waiting a while, or can you see if I did something wrong? (I can only add one piece of media because I am a new user… )

[sjr]

You are redirecting from www instead of your domain, but you seem to have set a DNS record for www ok.

The redirect seems to be working ok, you may need to clear your browser cache to see it…

To be complete, you may want to create a DNS record for your domain (@ AAAA 100::) as well and change your Page Rule URL to *caminocreativitypathway.com/* so both caminocreativitypathway.com and www.caminocreativitypathway.com redirect.

@sjr

You are redirecting from www instead of your domain, but you seem to have set a DNS record for www ok.

Again, not sure what this means - I followed the directions that were given…where does this apply? I recall seeing “www” as the entry in one of the steps, and I typed it in dutifully!

[epic.network]

You did fine with the www name. Its redirect is working. If you want the plain domain name without www to redirect, you need to add a similar AAAA DNS record for the name @ and update the URL in your page rule as indicated in the previous reply from @sjr .

[margrethefner]

Thanks! - I really appreciate the support from you and @sjr – it seems to be working now

[margrethefner]

Well it’s working sporadically. Was fine when I tried in incognito mode, but my daughter tried on her phone and got CF error page that connection timed out.

[epic.network]

I only get the 522 error when using your naked domain. It occurs every time using that name. The redirect consistently works correctly when using the www name.

Did you adjust the Page Rule as describe above (and below) after adding the proxied AAAA record of 100:: for the @ name?

@sjr

change your Page Rule URL to *caminocreativitypathway.com/*

[tkdor.loco]

Estou com o mesmo problema

[margrethefner]

Yes, I did both of those steps. Can you see something wrong?

[epic.network]

Thanks for sharing that updated screenshot of your Page Rule.

You need to replace *www.caminocreativitypathway.com/* with *caminocreativitypathway.com/*

[margrethefner]

Ah. I get it. Thanks again!
