That's the only DNS Record you have, trying to resolve to your apex (nixonlines.com)?
#ERROR 1016 - Origin DNS Error

What do you expect it to resolve to? There's nothing else there. CNAME is a canonical redirect. It's like saying "look over here", and there's nothing over there
Did you make a Cloudflare Pages Project? Or Github Pages? Or nothing so far?
nice, go to the Custom Domains tab there and add your domain (nixonlines.com)
Yup. It looks like when you added it though, Cloudflare couldn't find your domain to do automatic set up for (or it isn't active)
It's telling you to manually create the CNAME yourself, because it couldn't automatically do it for you (couldn't find the domain in your account, or something else)
Or maybe it did, and you deleted it after?
You could try deleting that custom domain (the three dots to the right of it -> Delete) and adding it again
yup
That will make https://nixonlines.com start working (may take a bit, you've likely visited it during this time and it's in dns cache now). If you want https://www.nixonlines.com to work as well and redirect you: https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/www-redirect/
nahh that's just an extreme end of it
your site already works for me but it's 404ing, what does your github files look like?
you'll need an index.html in the root directory/top most directory if you want it to show something with no path/by default
molten steeple
right now only https://nixonlines.com/nixonlines will work
that's how routing works
you probably want to rename nixonlines.html to index.html
polar mason
that's not necessary; if you did want to do that, you'd just have to also change your html to use those resources (right now it's using nixonlines.css/nixonlines.js, would have to rename the link href and script arc)
html is special, most web servers do route matching like that, for example nixonlines.com/cookies/ would resolve to cookies/index.html
polar mason
you mean you see an error on your end, or something like?
Seems fine to me
molten steeple
keep in mind in general github pages takes a bit to build, and it's better to not make multiple commits for one change
polar mason
ahh yea it looks like its trying to use webgl, I just have it disabled
did you add the redirect?
Sounds like it can't load the javascript, you have webgl disabled, or something else. If it works on the website it's fine

https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/how-to/www-redirect/
Generally you'll want to pick one to use (either apex, nixonlines.com, or www.nixonlines.com), and redirect from the one you aren't using to the other. Otherwise search engines and such get penalize you for duplicate content.
are you following that guide or a different one?
where'd you get that record from?
you're creating it on your apex (@) when it should be www
you'll have to delete the existing www record you have eitherway though
Yes
and then create AAAA www 100:: Proxied (or use A 192.0.2.1, there's no difference besides personal preference, it being proxied means CF will support both IPv4/IPv6 visitors)
you don't need both, correct, it does nothing more then having one would
did you finish the tutorial and create the redirect?
once you do that, they both will
works for me
cache, most likely. Depends by exactly what you mean though
thanks, you too
