dogboydog Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Hi, Basically, I want to point drawings.dogboydog.com to dogboydogdrawings.appspot.com, but if possible I want to keep the address the same. So if for example someone clicks the archive link and ends up at what is really dogboydogdrawings.appspot.com/archive, the address bar will show drawings.dogboydog.com/archive. I'm also fine with doing dogboydog.com/drawings instead of the subdomain if that's easier. I was able to redirect dogboydog.com/drawings to my appspot site, but not while masking the address. Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolstech Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 The way I'd try to do it: Make sure you don't have the subdomain added in cpanel. If you do, remove it and wait until it clears itself out. Then, use the advance dns editor to manually create a DNS record: name is drawings.dogboydog.com, type CNAME, value is dogboydogdrawings.appspot.com Depending how appspot works, it may or may not be possible to do this (if they rely on host name to determine what to serve you, you'll get an error from appspot along the line of account doesn't exist or file not found).

dogboydog Posted December 24, 2015 Author Share Posted December 24, 2015 Thanks for the help! I added this record: http://i.imgur.com/g7CEB2h.png I'm getting an "Account Queued" page when I go to drawings.dogboydog.com, so I guess I might have to wait a day for it to go through. We'll see if it works tomorrow. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogboydog Posted December 25, 2015 Author Share Posted December 25, 2015 I got it working!! I had to do some different steps in my Google App Engine developers console ( some of the instructions here https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/python/console/using-custom-domains-and-ssl#using_subdomains then I had to select unknown host since heliohost wasn't on the list, and add a custom CNAME record, and fiddle with some settings in the GAE console) check it out: http://drawings.dogboydog.com. Works exactly how I wanted! Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
