i want to change to a custom domain for my google app engine website.
I know already that i need to setup my records to CNAME at my domain provider for my already registered domain,
but i cannot find at the google app engine website where i can add a domain alias for my app.
thanks in advance!
Go to your google cloud account, click on your project, then go to compute, then app engine, then settings, then custom domains, then click 'add a custom domain', and here is where you can add an alias or subdomain to a domain you have already verified.

I'm trying to set up a custom domain name on Google App engine to use with SSL.
I have a paid Google Apps account, the domain name is an Alias of my primary domain
I managed to set up the custom name via https://console.developers.google.com/project - > My project -> App engine -> Settings -> Custom domains
It works pretty well without https. But with https I have an error.
When I try https://appengine.google.com/ -> My project -> Application Settings -> Add Domain, I can select my domain name in the input box but when I click on "Add domain"
Google Ask to choose an account, I select my Google Apps account and I have this error:
You are trying to access Google Admin of example.com but you do not have a valid logged in account for it.
Sign into one of the existing accounts for example.com
This is weird because the domain name is an Alias as required by Google here: developers.google.com/appengine/docs/domain
I tried to do all this procedure in a clean browser with only the Google Apps account logged and I have the same issue.
Is it a limitation from Google or so?
I'm unable to map a custom domain to my Google App Engine app. The steps I've already taken are:
I'm the admin of the Google Apps account
I'm the owner of the Google App Engine Account
I've added the domain to the "Domains" section of Google Apps
I've verified ownership of the domain within Google Apps
I've correctly setup the MX records of the domain
I've checked that the domain was correctly setup using: https://toolbox.googleapps.com/apps/checkmx/
However, for the last 3 days in the Domains section of Google Apps it says "MX records setup validation in progress".
Additionally, when I go to add the domain within the Application settings of the Google App Engine account I get redirected to a sign in page (despite already being signed in, and an admin within Google Apps, and the owner of the Google App Engine app). Either way when I go to sign in again I just get redirected back to the signin page and I'm not able to get any farther.
Also, I have billing enabled for the App Engine account. I've configured app engine domains numerous times before and never had these issues. Any help would be appreciated.
Update:
Following #presveva's suggestion I setup a new Google Apps account (despite already having an existing one) and the first page after creating a new Google App was a server error. After refreshing the page and verifying ownership of the domain I went to add the domain to App Engine.
On the "Please accept the Google App Engine terms and conditions to continue" page, first of all no terms even showed (numerous XMLHttpRequest errors on the page), and after submitting "I accept. Continue to add this service" the next page stated "An error occurred while trying to install this application. Please try again later."
This process is horribly broke and would be great if Google addressed this.
I know this this post is old but I ran into the same issue.
All ready running Google Apps for my primary domain.
Created a new app and registered a new domain name for that.
Don't want to get a new payed Google Apps account for the app domain.
#presveva is right but there is one way around it.
Use your current Google Apps account and add the app domain as a alias for your primary domain.
Make the admin account of your Google Apps domain owner of the Google App Engine (GAE) application.
Add the GAE app to your Google Apps account via the Google Apps admin interface.
Setup a custom domain name for the domain alias, your new app domain.
Note: If you use Google Sites for your domain you can't use www. Disable sites if you want to use GAE.
For now, the only one way for using custom domain in GAE is signup a Google Apps account (domains article).
Notice that the domain need to be the primary domain of account, a new account for domain.
The docs I have linked mentions a free single-user account but it has been replaced by a 50$ credit for a business Google Apps account (forum annunce)
I have an application http://faqs4j.appspot.com. I have purchased a domain called jobs4j.
I added domain using application settings in app engine console and also made necessory
CNAME changes in godaddy DNS managing console.
Now when I type in browser in.jobs4j.com it simply ridirects to http://faqs4j.appspot.com.But
I want my application to be served under sub-domain in.jobs4j.com and not just redirection to
appspot domain. what configuration I am missing?
thanks for your time.
In the application dashboard, under administration / application settings, you have a section titled "Domain setup". In it you can configure domains to be used for this application.
The process will require you to set up a "google apps" account (don't worry, a single-user domain is free), then transfer the domain(s) you want to be managed by Google apps by setting up a CNAME entry in your domain zone file. The instructions show you how to do it. Of course, where the instructions recommend you define your CNAME subdomain as "www", you will want your subdomain to be called "in".
Unfortunately, Google has ended the option to have a free Google Apps account, sigh!
However, we could still point the GAE app from a custom domain (non-Google apps owned).
Step 1 : Go to Application Settings in the GAE dashboard and add a
custom domain. You will be asked to verify the domain during which
Google would basically create a TXT record in your DNS zone file.
Step 2 : Once the 3rd party domain is verified, add the custom domain
for the app (my-gae-app.mydomain.app). It shows instructions
on how to add the CNAME entry for the domain.
Hope this helps!
We already have domain and webhost. Let say example.com. Included on the webhost package are our email accounts. So we have user1#example.com, user2#example.com, etc.
I want to link subdomain.example.com to ourapp.appspot.com. In adding domain in appengine dashboard, it seems it require to register for Google Apps (https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/standard/new3).
Will this be fine? Note that we already have email accounts for our example.com.
Thanks. Im confused with google apps.
Usually I make a subdomain on my provider and insert the CNAME ghs.googlehosted.com.
Then add the domain in Google Apps(new account or as domain alias) with *.example.com or also subdomain.example.com.
I've purchased a domain name with GoDaddy and have some sub domains setup, ie:
www.example.com
status.example.com
store.example.com
I want to create three applications on AppEngine under a single account, ie:
example.appspot.com
status.appspot.com
store.appspot.com
I would like to point each domain to a different app, ie:
www.example.com -> example.appspot.com
status.example.com -> status.appspot.com
store.example.com -> store.appspot.com
The question is, what do I need to do to set this up?
Do I sign up to google apps and add example.com as my domain, then somehow link this to my appengine account, will the subdomains be recognized as belonging to my account or do I have to do some extra work to set these up?
You need to setup the domain with Google Apps (free version is fine), then add each of your apps to the domain. You can add the app from the domain management console dashboard (click "Add more services"). When you add an app to the domain you can set the URL in the domain's management console.
There is also a how to in the App Engine docs, it explains how to initial the process from your App Engine admin console. I prefer to just handle all of the steps from the domain's management console.
