Custom domain stuck on “Waiting for DNS update” although DNS is propagated

Hello,

I'm having an issue with a custom domain on Railway.

Project:

viabilis-crm

Custom domain:

crm.viabilis.be

The application is running correctly and the deployment is Active.

The DNS has already propagated correctly:

CNAME crm.viabilis.be -> rmlsitg3.up.railway.app

Verified with:

  • Cloudflare (1.1.1.1)
  • Google DNS (8.8.8.8)

However Railway still shows:

"Waiting for DNS update"

and the HTTPS certificate is never issued.

I already:

  • upgraded to the Hobby plan,
  • recreated the custom domain,
  • updated the CNAME,
  • kept the TXT verification record.

Could you please check why the custom domain verification is stuck?

Thank you.

You have an invalid TXT record set for _railway-verify.crm.viabilis.be. Your TXT is currently: railway-verify=99d9a10c96835c332deb8beb7a..., which appears to be a copied truncated string. You need to copy the entire string, and it should not contain any dots. A valid TXT record should be like this: railway-verify=<64 char string>

Thanks! You were absolutely right.

The issue was indeed the TXT verification record. I had copied the truncated value displayed in the UI instead of the full string. Using the copy button provided the complete verification token, which fixed the problem.

Thanks a lot for spotting this and taking the time to help—I really appreciate it!
