so i have my codebase already but im trying to configurate my domain conf(godaddy)

it looks like this:

host:    points to:
email   email.secureserver.net
ftp @       
webapp-160163.pythonanywhere.com    webapp-160163.pythonanywhere.com

and i also have my forwarding like this:

Domain: http://webapp-160163.pythonanywhere.com(forward only)

but it doesnt seem to work, i created the app using my custom domain from scratch but i cant make it work, am i doing something wrong?

We do not serve your domain from the webapp- address, that's just a way for all the computers on the internet to find our servers.

To configure your web app, you need to set up a CNAME. There are instructions here

alright maybe im doing something wrong, i removed the forwarding and added a CNAME like this:

www    webapp-160163.pythonanywhere.com

but when i go to my dashboard and hit reload, it always shows:

There is a problem with your domain name configuration. Take a look at the DNS setup section below for details. Be aware that DNS changes can take some time to propagate across the internet. The exact time they take will depend on your domain configuration, but it could be as long as a day.

Should i wait one day for this to see if it worked or not??

i made a pinged that url and then i used that ip to set up a new A record and it works i can enter to my app but in the panel, its showing me the same problem

Hi there,

It looks like your web app is set up for "abdul.mx" (the naked domain) instead of "www.abdul.mx". The simplest thing to do would be to delete your web app entry for abdul.mx and re-create a new one for www.abdul.mx, and then go back to using a CNAME at godaddy.

If you want to get both www.abdul.mx and abdul.mx working at the same time, then you'll need to set up two different web app entries, one for each. There are instructions here: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/NakedDomains
