Custom domain - (partial CNAME setup)
Hi
,
I want to use a custom domain with my pages app
, the issue is I cannot have the nameservers on the CF account they need to be held on a different CF account
.
Suggested solution is to use a partial CNAME setup
:
https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/zone-setups/partial-setup/setup/
The setup is successful however I am unable to add the www
. subdomain
.
(Step 3
)
www
.example
.com CNAME www
.example
.com
.cdn
.cloudflare
.net
The following error code is displayed
:
DNS Validation Error
(Code
: 1004
) Invalid CNAME target
. Cannot use records with partial suffixes
.
Anyone have any idea whats happening
?
