Hi Railway team,
I'm running into a stuck HTTPS cert issuance on two custom
domains for my Equipment Wire production site. Been stuck
in VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP for over 3 hours.
Domains:
- equipwire.ca (custom domain ID: 57b7d6ad-d61a-47c1-a0a8-3b6e031c9743)
- www.equipwire.ca (custom domain ID: 3acbcf6e-e2a7-4422-b1f2-e933d5909fd7)
Project ID: 3bb0f3de-189e-4c42-9939-6079b0798735
Service ID: 46bdc001-d78c-4add-98b1-4c4dd0e38c1c
Environment ID: c5516852-8068-4ae9-b4b3-db5f33798887
Both domains were added at 2026-09-09 21:15 UTC.
DNS is fully propagated globally:
- equipwire.ca CNAME → 4h6inc9j.up.railway.app (correct)
- www.equipwire.ca CNAME → 3dbgfmfe.up.railway.app (correct)
- No CAA records blocking Let's Encrypt
- Railway edge is serving requests (HTTP 301 redirect to HTTPS works)
- HTTPS returns no response due to missing cert
Certificate status still shows CERTIFICATE_STATUS_TYPE_VALIDATING_OWNERSHIP
for both domains after multiple calls to customDomainIssueCertificate
mutation (both returned success:true, but status hasn't changed).
Can you please:
- Check Let's Encrypt error logs for these domains on your end
- Force a fresh cert issuance
- Or advise if there's something wrong with my setup I'm missing
This is production - my users can't reach the site at
the domain they know. Currently having to fall back to
equipwire-production.up.railway.app.
Thanks,
Dan

Both domains have their CNAME traffic records correctly propagated, but neither has the required TXT ownership-verification record. Certificates cannot issue until verification passes, and verification requires a TXT record at each domain's _railway-verify host with the token shown on the domain's settings page in the dashboard. Once you add those TXT records at your registrar and they propagate, verification and certificate issuance will proceed automatically.
