: Changing subdomain url to new root url issue (404) I have a blog on a subdomain technotes.tostaky.biz and I want to move it to a new URL: www.mytechnotes.biz. Of course, I want to redirect
I have a blog on a subdomain technotes.tostaky.biz and I want to move it to a new URL: mytechnotes.biz. Of course, I want to redirect technotes.tostaky.biz to mytechnotes.biz. mytechnotes.biz has been set-up properly, but I am trying to figure what I should do for the redirect.
Right now, I have two A records (www.technotes and technotes) pointing to the IP address of the root tostaky.biz URL server.I also have a permanent redirect (both www and non-www) from technotes.tostaky.biz to www.mytechnotes.biz/.
When I open technotes.tostaky.biz in Chrome, I get a 404 "The requested URL / was not found on this server. That’s all we know."
I don't know what is causing this issue. Should I wait for propagation or do I need to modify my configuration? Should I use CNAMEs instead of A records?
P.S: I forgot to mention that technotes.tostaky.biz redirects properly.

Apparently, my (blue) host was not modifying my .htaccess properly. I found the solution here.
I used the following:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^technotes.tostaky.biz/$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} ^www.technotes.tostaky.biz/$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ www.mytechnotes.biz/ [r=301,nc]
instead of:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^technotes.tostaky.biz$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.technotes.tostaky.biz$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http://www.mytechnotes.biz/" [R=301,L]
