FastSnail How to set up a Custom URL for Site?
Hello everyone,
Despite having read dozen posts on the blog, I can't configure my custom URL for my site. What I want to do is I believe 100% standard. I might have a glitch somewhere. I have only one site. My site URL in the SITES main page is: http://ccnus.force.com/ for a site named CCNUSSITE.
I have one VF page for that site named CNHelGen
Then in the CCNUSSITE detail page, the 'Require Secure Connections (HTTPS)' checkbox is checked. See CCNUSSITE detail page in link: http://www.classiccarnetwork.eu/0DEV/CCNUS-CCNUSSITE1.jpg
I have 2 'standard' Custom URL for that site (which I guess are created by SFDC):
- ccnus.force.com, which does not allow to access the site because no HTTPS: Eg: https://ccnus.secure.force.com/CNHelgen returns SSL error,
- ccnus.secure.force.com: which allows to access the page on the site. Eg: https://ccnus.secure.force.com/CNHelGen works fine.
Now, I want to replace the ‘ccnus.secure.force.com’ by my custom domain: ‘classiccarnetwork.org’ so that CNHelGen page can be accessed by ‘classiccarnetwork.org/CNHelGen’
As of now, there are pages published under classiccarnetwork.org, but they will be removed. The goal is for CCNUSSITE pages to replace all the classiccarnetwork.org content.
I have created a custom domain ‘classiccarnetwork’ and I have created the Custom URL ‘classiccarnetwork’ to link CCNUSSITE with this custom domain. See links below.

My understanding is that now ‘classiccarnetwork/CNHelGen’ should display my former https://ccnus.secure.force.com/CNHelGen page. Am I correct? It does not. https://classiccarnetwork.org/CNHelGen returns nothing.
What also puzzles me is that:
1. from the CCNUSSITE detail page, ‘Active Site Home Page’ CNHelGen [Preview] returns https://classiccarnetwork--c.eu3.visual.force.com/apex/CNHelGen Why does this return this strange URL?
2. 'Preview as Admin' of the classiccarnetwork.org Custom URL returns the link http://classiccarnetwork.org//sites/servlet.SiteDebugMode?sitedebugmode=z&rand=16066 which returns the 'error' in the link below

I guess that you understand by now that I am lost. Thanks in advance for your support.

Thanks for the quick reply. This is one of the first links / articles I read and I indeed created my custom URL. But it does not help. My situation, if I understand it correctly is:
- my custom site 'classiccarnetwork.org' is created and is deployed, It is recognized/aknowledge by SFDC.
- my custom URL linked to that domain is created (but I am not sure about its path) and it is the site custom primary URL,
So my understanding is that the 'redirection' explained above should work. It does not. I am missing something.
Do you have any idea what I am missing? What is wrong above? Something obviously is (maybe the way I undestand the whole thing).
Can you explain to me the strange URL in the picture below that leads nowhere that I get when I do 'Preview as admin' on my custom URL?
What should be the correct 'Preview URL' format?

Thanks again for your help,
