Pythonanywhere Hosting issue

[yingi keme]

Hello, 

my site is hosted on pythonanywhere.com. As per this tutorial https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/UsingANewDomainForExistingWebApp

I have changed the previous configuration from username.pythonanywhere.com to www.mydomain.com. There was a CNAME value webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com

I bought my domain name from godaddy registrar. I am having an issue with managing DNS record. When i try to add the record

Type: CNAME

Host: www

Points to: webapp-XXXX.pythonanywhere.com

TTL: 1 Hr

It says "The specified CNAME already exist in the zone". 

And then when i try to load www,mydomain.com, it shows a page from the godaddy site instead of my HomePage

Please anyhelp will be appreciated

Hi,

This is not issue with Django nor has anything to do with it.

You need to contact either pythonanywhere.com or godaddy about your DNS issues.

Where is your DNS records stored? Godaddy or pythonanywhere. It sounds like the dns records are coming from godaddy since that’s the page you see when you load the site. 

The way I was taught is you point your cname to an A record which points to the server where your doc root is. It sounds like the A record and/or namespace is pointing to godaddy. The namespace identifies where the dns records live. 

A - points to server I.e. pythonanywhere.com

CNAME - points to an alias i.e. webapp-XXXX on pythonanywhere.com

Hope that helps.
