Http dcv method for ssl

I just bought my ssl cert from namecheap. I was told that i need to upload a text file to my root folder for DCV verification. So is the correct folder will be /home/myusername ?

Thanks

you do put it in any folder and email PythonAnywhere admins with the folder path to get them to set up the ssl cert for you

I started getting this error at the dashboard when I refresh my app yesterday after I did a set up for SSL on Cloudflare.

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.

This is my set up at cloudfare.com

Type             Name                           Value                                TTL

A            linkspothub.com             points to 50.xx.xxx.xx               Automatic
CNAME             *          is an alias of webapp-xxxxx.pythonanywhere.com   Automatic 
CNAME           www          is an alias of webapp-xxxxx.pythonanywhere.com   Automatic 
MX           linkspothub.com    mail handled by mailstore1.server.net         Automatic 
MX           linkspothub.com    mail handled by smtp.server.net               Automatic

My website LinkSpot Hub is working fine secured as https://linkspothub.com What can I do to get rid of this error :

problem with your domain name configuration.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP IN ADVANCE

Do you mean the error on the "Web" tab on PythonAnywhere? You can ignore it, if so. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the way Cloudflare handle CNAMEs, but it shouldn't cause any real problems.

Yeah i meant

the error on the "Web" tab on PythonAnywhere

Thank you a lot for your swift reply I love PythonAnywhere
