Hi,

The domain is stuck because the CNAME is pointing at the wrong target.

Railway issues a unique verification/routing target per custom domain. For liuhenjianghu.com that target is:

jzx7ky6i.up.railway.app

Your CNAME is currently pointing at expo-app-production-31ad.up.railway.app (your public service URL). That is why the certificate is stuck at "validating ownership" even though DNS has propagated.

Fix: edit the CNAME record for liuhenjianghu.com so it points to jzx7ky6i.up.railway.app instead of expo-app-production-31ad.up.railway.app. Match exactly the value shown in the domain panel in the dashboard.

Two notes:

• The 404 you see when visiting jzx7ky6i.up.railway.app directly is expected. It is a routing target, not a browsable page.
• You do not need the _railway-verify TXT record for this domain; the CNAME above handles both verification and routing.

Once the CNAME points at the right target and propagates, the yellow triangle will clear and the certificate will issue automatically (usually within a few minutes). Reply here if it has not gone green after the new record propagates.

Hi Angelo,

Thank you for your clear explanation. I have now updated the CNAME record for liuhenjianghu.com to point to jzx7ky6i.up.railway.app (instead of the previous expo-app-production-31ad.up.railway.app).

I will wait for DNS propagation (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours) and check the status in the Railway dashboard again. I'll let you know if the yellow triangle doesn't clear after the new record propagates.

Best regards,

Wang

You need a TXT record at _railway-verify.liuhenjianghu.com.

Hi Angelo,

I have confirmed that the CNAME record for liuhenjianghu.com is correctly set to jzx7ky6i.up.railway.app, and all global DNS checkers show the record has been fully propagated (all green checks). I have gone through the verification process multiple times over the past 24+ hours, but the domain still shows a yellow triangle (Pending Verification) in Railway.

The TXT record at _railway-verify.liuhenjianghu.com is also in the deleted state as you mentioned, and I have not modified any DNS records during this period. However, given this issue has already lasted more than 24 hours, could you please manually trigger the domain verification or check the backend status to help resolve it faster? I would prefer to avoid another prolonged verification cycle.

Thank you for your help!

Best regards,

Could you please help me cancel this bounty? I only need official support to resolve the domain verification issue now. Thank you!

The TXT record is required.

Hi Angelo,

I have successfully configured both the CNAME and TXT records for liuhenjianghu.com, and my domain provider confirms the DNS settings are correct. The records are now propagating globally.

Could you please help re-trigger the domain verification? Thank you!

Hi Angelo,

I have successfully removed the trailing dot from the TXT record, and it now exactly matches the value provided by Railway. The DNS changes are propagating.

Could you please help re-trigger the domain verification for liuhenjianghu.com? Thank you!

Hi Angelo,

I would like to update you on the progress of resolving the domain verification issue:

Resolution Status: The issue has been successfully fixed.

• The CNAME record in the DNS resolution has been corrected to the target address specified by the Railway platform.
