The use of the word "still" clearly points to some type of confusion about rewrite and dns.

But the web server is not configured to handle www.ioanamorosan.com. If you go to ioanamorosan.tumblr.com it handles the name correctly and gives your page.

If you have a web panel to configure your hosting, look for something named alternative domain names, aliases, virtual hosts or virtual servers. The name that is sent to the web serwer is the one typed in browser, and has nothing to do with any CNAME records on the way. The web server must be configured to handle it.

What happens in this case is: the web browser you use will connect to the address of web.me.com but will present a HTTP host header asking for www.examle.com. Depending on the configuration of the webserver on that host, it may serve web pages from a default document root, which may or may not be the same as web.me.com > www.ioanamorosan.com. CNAME ioanamorosan.tumblr.com. > If you go directly to ioanamorosan.tumblr.com, the site loads, but if > you go to www.ioanamorosan.com, you get a tumblr.com 404 error page. The > browser still displays www.ioanamorosan.com in the address bar. In this case, the webserver on ioanamorosan.tumblr.com doesn't know how to deal with requests coming in for www.ioanamorosan.com and gives that error message. The administrators of the webserver could add a ServerAlias setting in their Apache configuration, to put requests into the correct document root.

Since it does not know anything about "www.ioanamorosan.com" it returns the 404. Cheers! Gary ___ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users

Forward using CNAME record
My apologies if this gets to the list twice. I tried to post it through the web interface but it seems to have been dropped by whatever screening gets applied. I'm not sure if I've misunderstood the use of CNAME or if I've simply done something wrong. I have two domains that I want to forward. One is working properly and the other is not. In both cases I want users to enter a URL in their browser (www.example.com) and be forwarded to a different system, where the user has their site. In the working case, the forwarding it to web.me.com so I have the following in my zone file: www.example.com. CNAME web.me.com. When you point your browser to www.example.com (obviously not "example") the page on web.me.com loads properly but www.example.com is still displayed in the address bar. In the second case, which is NOT working, I have a similar CNAME record but instead of web.me.com, it's on tumblr.com. So, I have this (this is the actual domain): www.ioanamorosan.com. CNAME ioanamorosan.tumblr.com. If you go directly to ioanamorosan.tumblr.com, the site loads, but if you go to www.ioanamorosan.com, you get a tumblr.com 404 error page.
