Page rule isn't applied to domain. What am I doing wrong?

General Rules

Recently did I change a subdomain I set up using a CNAME entry from itemsadder.andre601.ch to addons.andre601.ch

To avoid broken links for those I shared in the past did I now set up a page rule with the following options:

  • Setting is Forwarding URL with 301 - Permanent Redirect set as status code
  • URL is set to itemsadder.andre601.ch/*
  • Destination URL is set to addons.andre601.ch/itemsadder/$1

When I now try to access itemsadder.andre601.ch (or any sub-page for that matter) is my browser (Firefox) returning a “Site not found” error.

To be clear: I’ve had a CNAME entry with key itemsadder set up that links to github pages (<username>.github.io). This CNAME has been renamed to addons and is working as expected (Displays the page behind it).

Do I need a separate CNAME entry just for the sub-domain to properly redirect? Can/should it be an A-record pointing to the same IP as the main domain does?

From testing, it seems like I do need to have a DNS record to make it work. For now it’s a CNAME entry pointing at my GH pages domain, even tho GitHub doesn’t have any configurations pointing at it…

That’s correct, you can use pretty much any :orange: record.
