I recently purchased a domain with Yahoo Domains for my GAE app. Where I managed to get the domain mapped into my GAE account.

Now, since GAE does not support naked domains, I just placed the CNAME for www to point to Google App Engine.

Everything works fine now, i.e. my app can be accessed through http://www.my-example-domain.com

The problem is with naked domain (with Yahoo), I am trying to forward the naked domain http://my-example-domain.com to http://www.my-example-domain.com however, the domain manager is complaining that the forward is not possible.

What could be the problem that forward is not possible? Also, is there a way to solve this in GAE management console, since Yahoo domain manager seems to not able to handle this.

  • My domain is not registered with Google, but with Yahoo – quarks Nov 07 '13 at 16:17
  • Domain Registrar doesn't matters but whenever you need to link a GAE App with any Domain, you must have to register with Google Apps. Also follow the instructions in this URL https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/domain. – Ankur Jain Nov 08 '13 at 05:39
