Lightsail TXT Records Not Propagating

0

Hi all,

I run a small business website via Lightsail. It's been running for about a year with no issue. I recently went in to update the SSL certificate and when I created new TXT records to prove domain ownership I was unable to get them to propagate. And additionally, the existing TXT records we also not coming up when checking using mxtoolbox or whatsmydns.

Notes:

I am only hosting 1 site I am not using Route53

When I lookup MX records or my A record they come up just fine.

The domain is hosted at Godaddy and I've verified the nameservers are correct in godaddy ns-1547.awsdns-01.co.uk ns-499.awsdns-62.com ns-882.awsdns-46.net ns-1229.awsdns-25.org

My process for updating the Lightsail domain is Log in to lightsail dashboard Go to Domains & DNS I see 1 DNS Zone (global), I choose it and select Manage I go to DNS Records, Add Record, Select TXT

For record name value I enter: _acme-challenge.mydomainname.com For value I enter the string provided to me by certbot Hit Save

I've waited a few hours, in the past I have only had to wait minutes. And given that the previously existing TXT records are also not visible when I check for them, I don't think simply waiting longer for propagation is a solution.

Given that it's been running fine I'm hoping that some sort of AWS update has changed the way I need to have all this configured, but I've been searching an I'm unable to find any info on that.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks Dan

  • Hi Dan,

    Those TXT records should be exposed globally. It is interesting that your A and MX records work as expected. Have you tried adding an additional record and seeing if it propagates properly? e.g. Just adding a custom CNAME or random A record and see if that is globally resolvable.

Easy way you can use google DNS to verify the DNS

Yes, my record looks like what you've suggested. See below. I put in a dummy value of course in the screen shot

Hi Dan,

This looks to be resolving correctly using external tools. Was there a specific change that you made?

To go back to the root cause, verification of the new cert, I understand that some providers/tools with "rotate" of require a new TXT record value for each validation. If you are still not getting the validation and I would check in certbot (or any other means) to verify that the TXT record value is correct.
