Custom Domain for Google App Engine and Google Apps
- by Kevin
I have set up and configured Google App Engine and Google Apps to use my custom domain with a cname 'www'. I have configured my DNS (via fasthosts.co.uk) with the cname and pointed it to ghs.google.com.
I can access the website using the google app engine domain at capel-y-crwys.appspot.com but I can't access it via my custom domain www.capelycrwys.org.uk.
I have allowed several days for propagation of the DNS etc.
The really strange this is I can access the app via my custom domain when I use the web browser on my Android mobile phone. I can't access the app via my custom domain from my home internet connection, my work internet connection or a friends internet connection. I tried a few online web proxies and I can access the app via the custom domain.
I posted this question on the google forums
code.google.com/appengine/forum/?place=topic%2Fgoogle-appengine%2FfUP-G_0FKE4%2Fdiscussion
and a commentor has said he could access the app via the custom domain.
So why can't I access it direct via my home internet connection etc? I've tried loads of google searching and even found a similar sounding post here on serverfault
serverfault.com/questions/208461/custom-domain-name-server-not-found-google-app-engine-and-google-apps
but it doesn't have an answer that helps me.
