I am trying to setup a Static Web App in Azure.
Initially Azure created a URL purple-moss-0e5ca5f10.3.azurestaticapps.net which pointed to my static web app. If I entered in this URL into my browser then I would access my application. All well and good!
Next step is to purchase a domain, and point that to purple-moss-0e5ca5f10.3.azurestaticapps.net . Dead simple right?
I purchased the URL oliver-watkins.art from a company called TSOHOST. Then I created Custom Domain
Initially I need to generate a TXT string which I did in Azure, and then sent it to my provider. (I should have gone with CNAME, but oh well. TXT is effectively the same I assume).
So anyway, I “validated” and “added”. Once the provider validated the URL after a little while the status of my domain went to “validated”. So this I guess creates a “connection” between the domain provider and azure I assume.
So now I have two domains that look like this :
On the domain provider side of things I need to “point” the URL to purple-moss-0e5ca5f10.3.azurestaticapps.net . I’m guessing this is the second step that needs to be done.
I create a record that points to the “purple-moss-etc-etc” with type TXT and TTL 3600. (Don’t ask me why the number 3600, its just what the support staff told me to put in!)
Now nothing works.
If I go to the purple-moss-etc-etc URL I get nothing. If I go to oliver-watkins.art I get nothing.
I do not understand why such a simple procedure is so complicated! 10-15 years ago it took me like half an hour to get a website up and running.
How do I resolve this issue? THanks.
