I have created an appengine instance (just a hello-world application) and i have tried to point my domain to it , i was given 4 A and 4 AAA records that i put them in my cloudflare DNS record , however the domain now , just points to google 404, and i have no idea why , when trying to resolve my domain name it just takes me to google IP 
by running this .
curl -svo /dev/null kiloreux.info --resolve kiloreux.info:80:74.125.71.141

Now if someone can help me solve this i would really appreciate it .

Hi Abelhadi,

I assumed you followed something similar to what our documentation suggests, right?

In that case, are you sure you "proved you're the domain owner"? And how long ago did you make that change? DNS records can need some time to be fully propagated.

Cheers

Hey Patrick ,

Actually yeah i did prove that i am the domain owner and it worked for me (since i can see it in suggestions i guess ) and i have changed the records about 72 hours ago , in the docs it says that it takes about 24 and it's clearly taking more than this , i hope there's another solution for this :( , Thank you .

Hey again Abdelhadi,

If you use an nslookup tool, can you confirm you see the A and AAAA records you had to add? because you said you had 4 of each to add, and using an nslookup, I can only see 2 A records and 2 AAAA records.

In the meantime, you're right, if you see the domain suggested, the proof of ownership went through.

Cheers

Actually i can see 4 records (which are the one given to me) on the nslookup  query 

-> nslookup kiloreux.info
Server: 127.0.0.1
Address: 127.0.0.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Address: 216.239.32.21
Address: 216.239.36.21
Address: 216.239.38.21
Address: 216.239.34.21

and those are the one given to me  and when querying the AAA records i can also see the 4 records , yet when i check my domain it always gives me 404 from Google , such weird problem .

Hey again

Yeah somehow now I can see 4 records for each, when before I was only seeing 2. Weird indeed.

In any case, since I can't see into your custom domain, I'd have to say that there might be something in your config. The 404 you receive is from the Google server, so the mapping was done. There might be something that doesn't "translate" the handler to your own code... Could you send me a screenshot of the page "Compute->AppEngine->Settings->Custom domains" from your project? (you can reply privately with that information, just click on the arrow by my message and choose "reply privately to author". We will continue with the troubleshooting here in case it's valuable to other users in the future, but I want to make sure your admin screenshot is not posted publicly.

Thank you in advance :)

So, to keep the thread up to date, I've received the print screen from Abdelhadi,

Turns out the custom domain was mapped to "www.kiloreux.info". Entering the full URL, with the "www" works :).

The non "www" isn't mapped to the app, but still points to Google, therefore throwing this error. 

Lemme know if hitting the www.kiloreux.info provides indeed what you want.

Cheers!

Yeah it actually does provide me with the instance code, i have done  a mistake by not using the kiloreux.info domain and pointing to it (but using www.kiloreux.info), fixing it to the kiloreux.info was enough , thank you for your time , i really appreciate the effort .
