it says its already added though, and I deleted the GoDaddy CNAME

#

if cloudflare is saying it is already added, then it is already added, please remove all the old railway related dns settings like i have previously said to do

#

I removed the old ones and was able to update the CNAME with '@'. I also changed the GoDaddy NS to (screenshot). Is this all that needs to be done?

im able to access on chrome but not safari, also desktop but not mobile. assuming will take time to fully update?

gloomy river May 16, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

you have not added a www subdomain to cloudflare, please do that now. remove the www subdomain from railway, re-add it to railway and then use the cname railway gives you

#

let me know when thats done

#

excuse my ignorance...first time deploying so sorry if this is frustrating.

#

set the tls/ssl mode to full in the cloudflare settings

royal hinge May 16, 2023, 6:46 PM

#

gloomy river May 16, 2023, 6:47 PM

#

let me check, hold on

#

it looks like the first rule is redirecting www back to www, try removing that rule

Hi @gloomy river , I am using godaddy too, i saw the docs godaddy is not supporting cname for railway, any other solution ?

gloomy river May 16, 2023, 11:56 PM

#

gaunt prawn Hi <@539512869780455445> , I am using godaddy too, i saw the docs godaddy is not...

use cloudflare's nameservers

gaunt prawn May 16, 2023, 11:56 PM

#

means i need to migrate all my godaddy dns to cloudflare instead?

gloomy river May 16, 2023, 11:57 PM

#

actually cloudflare does that for you

gaunt prawn May 17, 2023, 12:00 AM

#

but i have to choose one of it right ? either cloudflare nameservers or godaddy right ?

gloomy river May 17, 2023, 12:02 AM

#

correct

#

choosing cloudflare's nameservers would be mandatory to using a custom domain on railway

median jasper May 23, 2023, 11:46 AM

#

is this only for the main domain? or it applies for subdomains too ?

gloomy river May 23, 2023, 5:55 PM

#

median jasper is this only for the main domain? or it applies for subdomains too ?

its only for root level domains, if you only plan to use a subdomain then there is no need to switch to cloudflare
