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,
