There are certain variations to this question but none answered mine.
I have a custom domain aaaskills.mydomain.com pointing to azure website.
This was done by setting CNAME to aaaskills.mydomain.com -> azure website. This is all working fine. Good.
But I want to change the subdomain to skills.mydomain.com, so i updated the existing CNAME to skills.mydomain.com -> azure website. All good.
Now, in my Azure portal i'm trying to add a new hostname for new domain but the azure doesn't recognize the CNAME updated.
Now aaaskills.mydomain.com doesn't work and skills.mydomain.com is bringing up 404 not found and it is suggesting me to update custom domain in azure website.
Am i missing something here?
Domain ownership on azure website was resolved after awverify'ing the sub domain. I added CNAME with records like below to awverify.
CNAME('awverify.subdomain.domain.com','azure website url')
Double check to see if the CNAME and A records are appropriately added in your domain registrar.
Also it take some time for the new host to be reflected in the app's Custom domains page. Try refreshing the browser,Clear the cache and test DNS resolution again.
On a Windows machine, you clear the cache with ipconfig /flushdns.
If the issue still persists, kindly do let us know for further investigation.

Good Afternoon,
after 2-3 Days trying to move my Domain from a Webhoster to Azure, i need your Help.
My actual Webhoster has Plesk. Over Plesk i can access and change all the DNS Entrys.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/dns/dns-delegate-domain-azure-dns
Based on this Walkthrough i'll have created 4 Entrys at my actual WebHoster and the Verification of the Domain is allright. When i run the command
nslookup -type=SOA #mydomain# i see a azure dns.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service/manage-custom-dns-migrate-domain
After that i wanted to create a Test App in Azure. Based on the above Walkthroughs i managed to set my Custom Domain for my App Service. I made this Settings at my old WebHoster and in my newly created DNS-Zone in Azure.
So far so good. So I have deactivated the local DNS Service in Plesk in order to move on to Azure that should manage my DNS now. So i'll have deleted the Custom Domain in my App Service and created it again but this time it should point to my Azure DNS. But in the Creation Dialog of Creating a Custom Domain it tells me that im not the owner of the Domain.
Im confused and floating somwhere in the Dark. Could some guys point to the right direction. Do i have to do additional Entrys in the Azure DNS?
I hope someone can understand my bad Descriptions :).
Thanks for every help
After you host your domain in Azure DNS, you only need to manage your DNS entry in the Azure DNS zone.
Thus, in the step of migrating an active DNS name to Azure App Service, you can create domain verification records in the Azure DNS zone.
Then you also need to add the custom domain to the web app and remap the active DNS records via A or CNAME record following that steps in the document.
Thanks Nancy for the answer.
i could solve the Problem. I found this ?-Button in Plesk that let you test the DNS-Zone on the Nameserver. There was an ip poping up that does not belong to an A-Reccord. But the weird thing is thtat this Ip-Adress also did not belong to the App-Service IP.
But as soon as i added this Ip everything went fine and is working now.
Thanks
I have a web app deployed on Azure and I'm trying to make it so both <myurl>.com and www.<myurl>.com work. Right now I have both domains listed on Azure within my webapp. www.<myurl>.com is registered as a CNAME from www to <myurl>.azurewebsites.net in godaddy. I have an A record from # to the IP address shown by Azure, as well as a TXT record from # to the given DNS by Azure <myurl>.azurewebsites.net
The problem is when I go to http://<myurl>.com it will change the URL to <myurl>.azurewebsites.net but when I go to http://www.<myurl>.com the URL is does not change.
Below are my go daddy DNS records. Most of these were there when I bought the domain so I'm not sure what they do. There is an A record that I can't seem to edit and I don't know what that IP address belongs to either.
Alot of this can be done with an A and a CNAME. You will need to add both "www" and "awverify.www" in your DNS, and do those corresponding entries in the Azure portal.
Here's good doc:

Here's alot more details:

The Azure portal will also give clues on what to do.

I have a problem in seeing up a custom finding to reach the website which is running on Azure VM.
Recently I have set up a new VM on Azure Virtual Network and let it run an php application as IIS. I have successfully configured custom DNS label so I can reach to the website with "http://hogehoge.japaneast.cloudapp.azure.com".
However, I can't well get a way to set up a custom domain, for example, "http://hogehoge.net". I made some search and managed to create a new DNS Zone, and then I also added a CNAME record, which is shown in the attached image, to it.
But I can't reach to the site. I know it is probably matter of course since I didn't configure DNS registrar. Also I haven't yet purchased the domain.
I think I made some mistake in my procedure. Could anyone point out what is wrong?
The problem is that your machine is not using the Azure DNS nameservers by default. You should add the CNAME/A records in your domain registrar's records, not in Azure DNS.
We are trying to migrate sites from AWS to Azure WebApps.
AS IS:
The CNAME of the existing site points to Imperva. Imperva then points to AWS Site.
TO BE:
The CNAME of the existing site points to Imperva. Imperva then points to Azure WebApp Site.
PROBLEM:
When I try to add the custom domain to azure Web Apps website, it complains with the error that the existing Site MUST have CNAME pointing to Azure Website.
see example below:
This means that as part of cutover, we need to do below:
1. Quicky update CNAME to point to azure web app
2. Once custom domain is setup in azure
3. Change the CNAME back to Imperva.
This sounds bit hacky.
Is above right approach or am I missing anything here?
The part that you're missing is the direction of the CNAME. What Azure wants to do is to ensure that you do actually have authority over that domain name. So they want you to create a CNAME that points from awverify.www.example.com to www.example.com
Once that record is created Azure will looking that record and ensure that it redirects to www.example.com. This has no impact on any existing configuration (unless you just happen to have awverify sub domain in uswe already!)
www.example.com will still work in exactly the same way as before until you are ready to move that name to Azure.
A couple of days ago I set up a new site in Azure and modified my DNS records to point to the site. I am unable to add the custom domains through the management tool or the portal.
The error I see is
"A CNAME record pointing from mysite.com to mysite.azurewebsites.net was not found. Alternative record awverify.mysite.com to awverify.mysite.azurewebsites.net was not found either."
(Changed my real domain to mysite as I'd rather not put that here).
The worst part is when I visit "mysite.com" it is showing me an Azure 404 page saying "The web site owner has registered a custom domain to point to the Microsoft Azure Web Site, but has not yet configured Azure to recognize it.".. I'm trying to configure it but Azure is not letting me!!!
For my DNS i have:
an A-Record pointing to my virtual IP
a second A-Record for www pointing to the IP (I did have www as a CNAME-Record for mysite.azurewebsites.net but that didn't seem to be working)
a CNAME-Record for awverify.mysite.com to awverify.mysite.azurewebsites.net
a CNAME-Record for awverify.www.mysite.com to awverify.www.mysite.azurewebsites.net
I thought maybe it was taking forever to propagate but it's been 2 days now.
Thanks!
Although it usually takes a couple of minutes for DNS records to be available, it can take up to 72 hours for DNS records to propagate. If it is all configured correctly (and looking at the list you posted, it is), it's a matter of waiting for it to propagate.
