  • My site is aramzsxyz.netlify.app.
  • My domain is aramzs.xyz
  • I’ve reviewed previous tickets in this vein and none of them seem to have the correct answer.

My redirects file is:

You can see a history of changes I made here.

Builds are successful. It says:

  • 13 redirect rules processed

All redirect rules deployed without errors.

Everything is processing correctly but the redirects from the various configurations of
http://chronotope.aramzs.xyz/*

to

Do not work. And there is no reporting as to why.

What isn’t working?

You’re probably deploying the redirects to aramzs.xyz and chronotope.aramzs.xyz doesn’t exist.

You have a site on Netlify for aramzs.xyz:
https://aramzs.xyz (https://aramzsxyz.netlify.app/)

You presumably do not have a site for chronotope.aramzs.xyz:
https://chronotope.aramzs.xyz/

To fix you would create a site for chronotope.aramzs.xyz and deploy the redirect file there.

Oh, interesting, this is not clear in the documentation which appears to suggest this exact flow, but that does make sense! Thank you I’ll take a look at making that change!

That indeed worked, thank you!
