Custom Domain
I've added a custom domain and changed my DNS record pointing to the IP. But when I type in the custom domain in Chrome, after loading the page the address bar in chrome will change to the default public address and not showing my custom domain. Did i do anything wrong?

Project ID:
N/AN/A
where i can find the Project ID?
Can you send a screenshot of your DNS configuration?
the project id can be found in the URL: railway.app/projectid/serviceid
It looks like your root domain is pointing towards an IP, that's not the correct way of setting this up, you need to use a CNAME and not an A record and it needs to point to the domain railway provides
Railway IPs are dynamic by default so A records will naturally break over time
ok, I have an other wordpress project which is using the custom domain as well. This one is using the CNAME, I show you which one.
it's set up under a subdomain so it won't conflict
This one is fine with main page. the domain name shown correctly. but when I move to the sub-page, the domain name show the defualt address again. how can I solve this?
Sub-page
that is very strange π€
what happens when you remove the provided domain from service settings?
This page is ok!!!
This one NO!
Solution
Looks to me like you harcoded the domains into the buttons
Oh
yes!
ok! I think I can fix this issus. Many thanks!
No problem π
for the root domain, what you are saying is that I shuld use CNAME instead of A record. Is this corrent?
Exactly
ok , will do! One more question.
I have another project which is not a wordpress. It is a licensing server which has no GUI. How can I access it using the CLI? I am using win11.
Unfortunately Railway doesn't have SSH support so you can't exactly run commands on it remotely, so there's no way to use that service via CLI
Oh!
Many thank!
Have a nice day. Bye!
No problem at all, you too :D
