I'm having trouble getting my domain pointed to my website hosted with
google app engine. Here's the background... take care to separate the concepts of "
google apps" (domain hosting, email, etc.) and "
google app engine" (website framework).
I have a domain that's using
Google Apps for Your Domain, let's call it company.com. So my login for my
google apps
account is
[email protected]. I have a different domain that is aliased back to my
google apps
account, let's call it mycompany.com. It's been successfully aliased and registered with my primary
google apps
account using the cname method, and has updated mx records. We have a ton of domains, and I only want to use one "
google apps"
account to maintain them all.
Now I have a website I've built using
google app engine, and the url is effectively mycompany.appspot.com. I want to get mycompany.com to point to my website that currently resides at mycompany.appspot.com.
There's a spot in the
google app engine dashboard under application settings where you can add a domain. So I click there and enter mycompany.com and I get an error message saying that domain is not using
google apps.
If I back up to the page I submitted, there's a note saying I need to register the domain with
google apps. So I click the link to do that and enter mycompany.com and I get an error message saying the domain has been registered and is in the process of ownership verification. But that process is already finished.
So... what do I do? Does
google app engine not support a domain that is only aliased to a primary
google apps account? Does mycompany.com need to have its own primary
google apps account?
