What is your aim, here?

[flat osprey]

To use my own domain as the endpoint for my email and password authentication

[quasi skiff]

And are you using Appwrite Cloud or Self-hosted?

[flat osprey]

Self hosted

[quasi skiff]

What’s the domain your website is at, and what’s the domain you’re trying to use as your Custom Domain? (Feel free to redact anything sensitive)

[flat osprey]

My website domain is and i am trying to use appwrite.betathread.com as the custom domain

[quasi skiff]

Ok. What is your _APP_DOMAIN_TARGET set to?

[flat osprey]

I do not have that set

[quasi skiff]

Ok - so that should be set to the same as your _APP_DOMAIN, and then appwrite.betathread.com should be a CNAME pointing to that

[flat osprey]

but what actually is the _APP_DOMAIN

[quasi skiff]

_APP_DOMAIN is the domain you use to access your Appwrite Console.

[flat osprey]

where can i find it in the console

[quasi skiff]

Look in your address bar

[flat osprey]

ok

[flat osprey]

i actually made a mistake it is actually appwrite cloud

[quasi skiff]

Ok, so then appwrite.betathread.com should have a CNAME to cloud.appwrite.io

[flat osprey]

ok thanks but i want to know if it is possible to use a nrmal domain instead of a sub domain

[quasi skiff]

No, as it’s not possible to create a CNAME on a root domain

[harsh sierra]

Why do you want to use the main domain for appwrite?

You should add the domain in the appwrite dashboard/console too

[flat osprey]

i have created the sub domain but i do not know how to connect to my api end point

[quasi skiff]

You should use the new subdomain as your Appwrite endpoint. So instead of .setEndpoint("https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1"), you'd use .setEndpoint("https://appwrite.betathread.com/v1").

[flat osprey]

ok

but my auth page is on the main domain betathread.com should i move it to the sub domain

because my actual sub domain is api.betathread.com

[quasi skiff]

Auth page for what - for your app?

You point the subdomain (whether appwrite. or api. - whatever you want) to Appwrite. You can't control anything on there.

[flat osprey]

i mean the signup and login page they should be on the main domain

[quasi skiff]

Why would they be anywhere else?

[flat osprey]

when i use my sunbomain like you i said i get this error AppwriteException: Network request failed

[quasi skiff]

Sorry, I really should have asked this earlier - why?

[flat osprey]

asked what?

[quasi skiff]

Why do you want to use your own domain as the endpoint, instead of cloud.appwrite.io?

[quasi skiff]

Is this with the appwrite. endpoint or the api. endpoint?

[flat osprey]

because when a user tris to signup for my website it diplays an error

thats why i am trying to use a sub domain and i think the signup page should be in the sub domain so what do you think

the api endpoint

[quasi skiff]

What's the error?

[flat osprey]

AppwriteException: Netwwork request failedork request failed

[quasi skiff]

When you use .setEndpoint("https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1")??!

[flat osprey]

the same errotr

[quasi skiff]

So using a Custom Domain is not going to solve that

Probably

[flat osprey]

let me try it one more time

[quasi skiff]

Could I please see the request in Developer Tools?

[flat osprey]

Access to XMLHttpRequest at 'https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1/account' from origin 'https://www.betathread.com' has been blocked by CORS policy: The 'Access-Control-Allow-Origin' header has a value 'https://localhost' that is not equal to the supplied origin.
cloud.appwrite.io/v1/account:1

   Failed to load resource: net::ERR_FAILED

[quasi skiff]

Ah - have you added www.betathread.com as a Platform in your Console?

[harsh sierra]

In the appwrite dashboard there is a section called platforms. There you should add the domain to prevent CORS error:

[flat osprey]

no

[flat osprey]

currently there is not place like platforms it's just projects instead and i alreafy have one with everything setup

[harsh sierra]

Once you select a project, in the overview page there is an integrations section and an add platform button

You don't have that in the overview page?

Specifically it's once you select your project

[flat osprey]

i have created the platform and added my hostname

it is working now thanks a lot i really appreciate

[harsh sierra]

Do you have your appwrite domain as endpoint too?

[flat osprey]
