PythonAnywhere is telling me a wrong CNAME

Hi I am trying to have a webapp on my custom domain portal.bridgelogistica.it and I followed your suggestions. I created a CNAME in my domain register OVH as you wrote (so I created a CNAME for the domain "portal.bridgelogistica.it" that has target to "webapp-1046290.pythonanywhere.com.") The thing is working (If I open portal.bridgelogistica.it I have the python hello world application). but in the web app page there is showed this thing "Your domain's current CNAME is webapp-1046260.pythonanywhere.com.bridgelogistica.it. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly." In addition, I cannot add the let's encrypt SSL certificate you can provide (I mean, If I add the certificate as you suggest, then If I open portal.bridgelogistica.it there is the warning issue). How can I solve it?

I went to portal.bridgelogistica.it and ssl looks correct. CNAME also looks correct. Do you still see any errors on the "Web" page on PythonAnywhere?

No. Sorry for disturbing you. Now it is working smoothly. It was probably just a matter of time. Thank you.

It can take some time for DNS changes to propagate over the Internet, yes -- normally it just takes a few minutes, especially for new hostnames, but in extreme cases it can take up to 24 hours.
