CNAME problem with o2switch

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out because I have a CNAME issue.

I need to point using a CNAME with the hosting provider o2switch.net. I have 3 websites in 3 different folders, these 3 folders are located at the root of my public_html.

When loading the main domain www.caad.fr I land at the root of public_html.

I would like www.caad.fr to be an alias of my subdomain caad-ancien.caad.fr, so I did this in the Advanced DNS zone:

caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
localhost.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 127.0.0.1 Edit Delete
mail.caad.fr. 14400 IN CNAME caad.fr Edit Delete
www.caad.fr. 14400 IN CNAME caad-ancien.caad.fr Edit Delete
ftp.caad.fr. 14400 IN CNAME caad.fr Edit Delete
caad.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
caad-ancien.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
cpanel.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
whm.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
webmail.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete
webdisk.caad.fr. 14400 IN A 109.234.161.32 Edit Delete

But it doesn’t work. Did I make a mistake?

Thanks in advance,
Have a good evening,
Antoine

    Hi,

    Try by adding a period, like this: 
    www.caad.fr. 14400 IN CNAME caad-ancien.caad.fr.

    I can't, it shows an error when I try to add the dot:

    "The CNAME must be a valid zone name"

    =/
