Configuration problems with www on a sub domain in CloudFlare without SSL


how to config a domain, a sub domain and a sub sub domain with CloudFlare?

I have example.com, www.example.com, subdomain.example.com and www.subdomain.example.com. So far I have tried the following:

Configuration 1:

A Record called example.com pointing to the IP of the server. CNAME called www that points to the domain example.com. CNAME called subdomain that points to the domain example.com.

The problem here is that www.subdomain.example.com does not work and gives me an error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, everything else works fine.

Configuration 2:

A Record called example.com pointing to the IP of the server. CNAME called www that points to the domain example.com. A Record called www.subdomain that points to the IP of the server.

The problem here is that subdomain.example.com does not work and gives me an error DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NXDOMAIN, however www.subdomain.example.com works fine.

What is the right configuration for all of these? I am not interested in SSL. Any ideas will be appreciated!


Solution

  • You need to have below records in your DNS -

    example.com.   A        IP address
    www            CNAME    @
    subdomain      CNAME    @
    www.subdomain  CNAME    @
