I added my custom domain  'www.siaria.net' in Appengine-> Settings-> custom domains as per the guide. My domainname is from namecheap. Its more than 24hrs now still my site www.siaria.net shows 404 page not found. I can see my website in https://siaria-1237.appspot.com/.

Can anyone please help me out?

DNS looks OK:

$ host www.siaria.net

www.siaria.net is an alias for ghs.googlehosted.com.

ghs.googlehosted.com has address 173.194.203.121

ghs.googlehosted.com has IPv6 address 2607:f8b0:400e:c05::79


So the problem's likely to be with how you verified domain ownership, per Webmaster Central, https://www.google.com/webmasters/verification/home?pli=1 -- which of the various approaches it offers have you followed? HTML verification file upload, HTML meta tag, or what else? Once that's identified we can check if you've followed the respective procedure exactly.

Thank you Alex.
I did check the TXT record in namecheap. Now in the https://www.google.com/webmasters/verification/details?hl=en&domain=siaria.net it shows

Hello Bibhu,

Here are a few things you can check:

- Visit the 'Add a new custom domain' page here and enter siaria.net on step 1. If the 'verify' button becomes grayed out and shows 'You are already the verified owner of this domain', it's a safe assumption that the verification status checks out. If clickable, then you have to go through the verification process again.
- Visit the 'Custom domains' page here and make sure an entry for www.siaria.net exists. If not, then add it by selecting the the second option here, enter 'www' (without quotes) and finally press 'Add'.

I hope that helps. Cheers!

I have done the 2 steps
My application is deployed in appengine and I can see my site http://siaria-1237.appspot.com/ 
But it gives 404 for http://www.siaria.net


Thanks,
Bibhu

Would you be able to share the findings from the two checks I've suggested? If possible, please also post a screenshot of the the 'Custom domains' page.
