Dear Railway Support Team,
I hope you are well.
I am experiencing an issue while configuring a custom domain for my service. The domain modanclearpictures.rimosofttech.com has remained stuck on “Validating domain ownership” despite completing all required DNS configurations correctly.
Here are the details of my setup:
* CNAME record:
modanclearpictures → rhtqdnpd.up.railway.app
* TXT record:
_railway-verify.modanclearpictures → railway-verify=53e1b4b3e712c8613713...
* DNS propagation has been confirmed globally using DNSChecker (both CNAME and TXT records resolve correctly).
* I have allowed sufficient time for propagation (over 30 minutes).
* I also ensured not to modify DNS records during this period.
However, the domain still shows “Validating domain ownership” in Railway, and accessing the domain results in a certificate error.
Could you please assist in:
1. Confirming whether Railway is correctly detecting my DNS records
2. Manually triggering verification if necessary
3. Advising if there is any additional step required on my end
Kindly let me know if you need any further details or screenshots.
Thank you for your support.
Best regards,
Ibanda Moses

Your DNS configuration has a conflicting A record on modanclearpictures.rimosofttech.com pointing to 151.101.2.15, which is not a Railway IP. This A record takes precedence over your CNAME and is likely preventing the certificate from being issued. Remove the A record from your DNS provider (GoDaddy) so that only the CNAME pointing to rhtqdnpd.up.railway.app remains, and the certificate validation should proceed.

Hey,
Sorry about that. We have rolled out a fix for this. Your domains should automatically get issued a certificate. If they don't, please remove and re-add the domain.
