Hello Railway team,
I'm having trouble provisioning a TLS certificate for my custom domain on a Railway service. The certificate issuance fails with an "internal error" message, even after multiple "Try Again" clicks.
Details:
- Project/Service: [Tên project hoặc service ID của bạn, ví dụ: vi ora-be-prod hoặc link project dashboard]
- Custom domain added: vi ora-app.xyz (apex/root domain @)
- DNS provider: Namecheap
- DNS configuration (apex domain):
- Type: CNAME
- Host: @
- Value: 6muhnti4.up.railway.app (or similar, as provided by Railway)
- TTL: Automatic
- Public Networking status in Railway:
- vi ora-be-prod.up.railway.app → Works fine (Metal Edge)
- vi ora-app.xyz → Shows "Failed to issue TLS certificate" with error: "An internal error occurred. Please retry or contact support."
- Also has a port mapping to 8080 (Metal Edge)
- Steps I've tried:
- Added the domain in Railway settings → Got the CNAME target → Set CNAME @ in Namecheap.
- Verified DNS propagation using dnschecker.org (CNAME resolves correctly to Railway endpoint in most locations).
- Waited >1 hour for propagation and cert issuance.
- Clicked "Try Again" multiple times → Still fails with internal error.
- No proxy/CDN like Cloudflare is enabled (direct from Namecheap).
Additional info:
- The domain is apex (@), not a subdomain.
- No CAA records or other restrictions on Namecheap side (as far as I know).
- Can access the app via the Railway-provided domain (*.up.railway.app) without issues.
Could you please check on your end:
- If there's a stuck provisioning job or queue issue for this domain?
- Reset the certificate issuance process?
- Confirm if the CNAME is being resolved correctly from Railway's perspective?
- Any known issues with apex CNAME on Namecheap + Metal Edge?
Happy to provide screenshots, project ID, or join a private thread if needed.
Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
