Can't connect Railway app to Cloudfare DNS

Hi,
I am having a problem connecting the DNS settings given to me by Railway to Cloufare, which now handles my DNS settings. I tried entering the information given to me by Railway, but Cloudfare says that a record already exists (but when I search all my DNS records, none of them match the information given by railway). Any advice or troubleshooting feedback is appreciated!

Sorry I realized you said settings


One moment


a year ago

you had it correct the first time



a year ago

you do have duplicates there


a year ago

duplicate by name, not by type


Are you referencing the A names being duplicates?


Should I delete them and just leave one of the A names?


a year ago

you dont want any A types though


Why? Because of the IP addresses? Sorry I am new to this so I don't always understand what the different types are

Railway does not give you an IP address, they give you a CNAME


Oh yes, but when I try and put that CNAME in it says I have duplicates. The duplicates are the A types by name correct?


a year ago

correct


So I should delete the A type records and then try to add the CNAME record?


a year ago

correct


Let me try that and get back to you


That worked, thank you. Now when I go to mypetnote.com, it shows the railway project that I wanted to connect. Thank you so much!


Can you mark this as solved please?
