Hi,

I saw a lot of posts about redirecting from domain.com to www.domain.com
but unfortunately none of them were helpful in my case.
So here's what is happening:

I bought a domain from yahoo and there I added
* A Record 'hullabu.com' to destination '216.239.38.21' for
hullabu.com rediecting to www.hullabu.com
* CNAME Record '*.hullabu.com' to destination 'ghs.google.com' for
rediecting www.hullabu.com to app engine.

Now, www.hullabu.com works fine but not hullabu.com.

Tried Yahoo support and they say both hullabu.com and www.hullabu.com
go to same IP, so it's google app engine's problem.

Any help is greatly appreciated.


Regards,
Pankaj Vishwani

Hi,

A Record configurations for naked domains will no longer work with App Engine.  Please see:
http://code.google.com/appengine/kb/commontasks.html#naked_domain

You will need to configure a 302 redirect from the naked domain with your domain registrar to the 'www' domain.

Hi,

Currently the 302 redirect to 'www' is the only method available for using the naked domain.
