How to point subdomain to another subdomain using afraid.org and CloudFlare

  • 772

So I have one subdomain from afraid.org (let's call it sub.afraid.org) and one domain registered somewhere (sub.domain.com) using CloudFlare DNS with it.

What I want to do is point sub.afraid.org to sub.domain.com, not a redirect, but just point to it and load the same content is loaded in sub.domain.com but in sub.afraid.org

I tried to setup a new CNAME record in afraid.org like this: sub.afraid.org CNAME sub.domain.com and there's also a CNAME in my CloudFlare settings but for some reason CloudFlare says it's unable to resolve the address.

I also added the sub.afraid.org in my virtual host config to respond to the requests (in this case Nginx).

I've googled about this and seems to be possible to do, but the problem seems to be with the CloudFlare settings or something I'm missing.

    It is not possible because CloudFlare does not recognize sub.afraid.org.

    I suggest you point sub.afraid.org to the server that hosts sub.domain.com directly and set up a virtual host for it.

    Please see this doc Can I CNAME a domain not on CloudFlare to a domain that is on CloudFlare?
