dispatch.yaml troubleshooting

[Mike Hardy]

Hi, I am trying add www to our frontend service so that we can have both `www.somedomain.com` and `somedomain.com` work with the frontend service.

This is our dispatch.yaml

dispatch:
  - url: "*somedomain.com/*"

    service: frontend

I've used GAE settings to set a custom url and added the cname record to our DNS but we continue to get a server not available error. What could I be doing wrong?

Thanks!
Mike

I was able to reproduce your issue. As such, here are my takeaways:

1- Make sure you added the CNAME for "www.somedomain.com"

2- The use of the following element without the asterisk (*) should be fine:

url: "somedomain.com/*"

3- Alternatively, you can add both routing rules as follows:

dispatch:
  - url: "www.somedomain.com/*"
    service: frontend
   
  - url: "somedomain.com/*"
    service: frontend

Thanks Kenworth - your dispatch.yaml file solved the problem :)
