Issue with WWW redirect

[pisciotta.francesco]

Hi there,

I have an issue: if I write www. it is redirect to / (without www) .

Even though it works what I’d like to get it’s the opposite… I’ll try to explain:

Now:

www. ->
and
->

I’d like to have instead:

www. -> www.
and
-> www.

I put Cloudflare DNS instead my provider ones and added a CNAME record in cloidflare

What I should do to fix it?
I hope was clear enough

Thank you so much for your help

So you want your naked domain to be redirected to your “www” host?

Redirect example.com to www.example.com

This tutorial covers redirecting example.com to www.example.com when using Cloudflare, to do the opposite, please see Redirect www.example.com to example.com. You should replace all instances of example.com in the screenshots with your domain. Step 1, The DNS Record: The first thing you will need is a DNS record for @, set to . This can point to any IP address as the redirection page rule will execute first. I would recommend pointing it to 192.0.2.1, a dummy IP. [image] Step 2, Th…

Hi Sandro,
yes I had a look before at the tutorial, but when I add a A record with ‘@’ and dummy IP I get this error:
‘a CNAME already exists with that host’
I put before this CNAME to redirect my new domain to hosting domain like this:

CNAME informatica-ilcorso.it informatica-ilcorso.teachable.com

and plus I put a Page rule like this:
to-> www.

But no luck so far.

Can you explain slightly deeper the actions I have to perform to solve this? Thanks a LOT!
bye

Remove all A and CNAME records with “informatica-ilcorso.it” as name and try to set up the record again.

Thanks Sandro for replying. Actually I did as you suggested. The result is that now is redirect to www., but neither nor www. redirect now to my hosting site .teachable.com
So whever I put either or www. the browser gets me error. I suppose because that I have deleted the CNAME that forwards to my hosted subdomine teachable where my site is.
Could you give a tip? Thanks a lot!

Well, you wanted the redirect to “www”, right? So what is the question about teachable.com? If you have a CNAME it will point to that server - and your domain needs to be configured there - but it wont redirect to such an address.
