Mapping site content to a domain alias

[LShiznit]

Hello

Currently my domain alias simply point to my primary domain.
The primary domain is naenglishmadrid.org
The alias domain is naenglishspain.org

I’m trying to map content to a specific domain alias.
I’d like anyone accessing a specific part of my site to have the URL specified in their browser.

For example, I had though that _redirects would work like this:
/meetings http://www.naenglishspain.org/ 301!
/tenerife http://www.naenglishspain.org/tenerife 301!
/* /index.html 200

Any help would be appreciated.

@LShiznit Did you deploy the _redirects file as you’ve written?

If both sites “are the same site” then you will want to specify the “from” paths with the domain as per:
https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/redirect-options/#domain-level-redirects

Yes I did.

Yes but this does not serve from a specified URL, it simply redirects.

but this does not serve from a specified URL, it simply redirects.

That’s as defined, you’ve specified 301.

If you’re trying to rewrite/proxy then you want 200.

See the HTTP status codes here:
https://docs.netlify.com/routing/redirects/redirect-options/#http-status-codes

Thanks Nathan.
I’ve also tried rewriting with 200 but the domain shows an error.
I think it had to do same-origin policy and that I will have to set up a proxy for what I want.

This is incorrect. You do not need a proxy.

If you wish to have a path on the primary domain (e.g. naenglishmadrid.org/tenerife) redirect to the alias domain (e.g. naenglishspain.org/tenerife then you need to specify this in the redirect e.g.

https://naenglishmadrid.org/tenerife http://www.naenglishspain.org/tenerife 301!

/meetings currently displays a blank page. What status code are you currently using, 200 or 301? As above, if this should act on a specific domain then specify it in the redirect.

Does the deploy log show all redirects were processed? If you download the deploy, does the _redirects file look as you expect or is it different?

Hello

Thanks for catching this. Just fixed it.

Yes, but this is not the issue. I’m trying to write to an alias domain.
So that /madrid is served from naenglishmadrid.org and NA Madrid | The Journey Continues Group redirects to naenglishmadrid.org (this last I would know how to do with 301!)

@dig

Does the deploy log show all redirects were processed?

Yes with zero errors.

[dig]

Currently naenglishmadrid.org and naenglishspain.org (regardless of path) are redirecting to naspain.org

[LShiznit]

Partially correct.
naenglishmadrid.org redirects to naspain.org/madrid
naenglishspain.org/* rediredct to naspain.org/:spash

I’ve done this for the mean time until I figure out how to get naenglishmadrid.org to serve /madrid.

You can’t have content from a sub-path (like /madrid) served at the domain root when the domain is assigned to the project. In order to serve a sub-path at the root of another domain that domain needs attaching to a separate site. Then you proxy to as explained in the Proxy to another Netlify site documentation.
