Domain setup on DreamHost to Heroku

Question

I am moving my rails applications form DreamHost to Heroku. Name servers are still on DreamHost.

Here's how I set up:

www.mydomain.com: CNAME to mydomain.herokuapp.com
mydomain.com redirected to www.mydomain.com

This sort of works.

But mydomain.com/admin doesn't work. I must go to www.mydomain.com/admin.

How can I make mydomain.com/admin work?

Thanks.

Answer 1

mydomain.com is forwarded to www.mydomain.com correct? Then mydomain.com/admin wont work, everything mydomain.com is forwarded.

If you want this behavior then you need to remove your forwarding at the DNS and do this kind of redirection (or not) at the application level.
