My CNAME domain not showing my web app on Heroku

I have set a custom CNAME using the instructions found on Heroku at https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/custom-domains#view-existing-domains. My dns target has been changed and currently points to Heroku, additionally in the settings it says that my app is available at my domain, and using the host example.com, it shows the the confirmation that my app and domain are connected. However, when I visit my domain, I get a default page from Heroku, not my site. I can't find any instructions that say I need to modify my push location, and I am stumped. Domain is http://www.rockforestlabs.com

Thanks for your insight in advance.

Did you add "www.rockforestlabs.com" as well as "rockforestlabs.com"? – Ryan Crispin Heneise
Thank you, I went into the settings and added both and it shows up under www.rockforestlabs.com but not rockforestlabs.com. I guess I need to redirect traffic from rockforestlabs.com to www.rockforestlabs.com. – Zac Smith

You need to create in the hosting subdomain named www. And redirect your main rockforestlabs.com to subdomain named www.rockforestlabs.com.

The problem resolved itself once I added both domains example.com and www.example.com. Here is a good link that helped, after I found it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBg8ab4wAXo
