Trying to connect my GoDaddy domain to existing PAW WebApp

I've trying to connect my own goDaddy domain to PAW, I entered the following Record:

Type: CNAME

Name: webapp-XXXXXX.pythonanywhere.com

Value: www.miprimerposteo.com

TTL: 1 hour

But my domain doesn't work, in "Web app tab" it's a warning: "Your domain's current CNAME is miprimerposteo.com. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly"

Can anyone help me, please?

It looks like you have the name and value round the wrong way; you should have

Name: www

Value: webapp-XXXXXX.pythonanywhere.com

Note that the name is just www; the .miprimerposteo.com is implicit, so if you put www.miprimerposteo.com then you'd be configuring a CNAME for www.miprimerposteo.com.miprimerposteo.com.

I'd also recommend a lower TTL, maybe 300 seconds.

When I put www on input Name give me an error. An unexpected error occurred. If this problem continues, contact technical support.

I put www. and then the button to save the record was enabled.

But still don't work :/

It seems like you got it to work? Did you just have to wait a little bit for the change to propagate?

Yes, it's working now, thank you!!

Excellent -- thanks for confirming!
