Forever pending Certificate Validation

0

Hi,

I'm trying to create a certificate for my domain and have requested certificate and since my hosted zone is on Route53, I've clicked on "Create DNS records". But the certificate is still pending after 1 day and is about to timeout. The hosted zone is Public, I checked I've checked the records, they are exactly as requested. Enter image description here

Hey,

1.If dig CNAME +short <CNAME_name> value does not return anything , it means, your CNAME have not been added or added to incorrect hosted zone.Ideally, it returns CNAME value.

2.You can check your NS name servers/hosted zone by using the below command: dig +trace <domain name> and verify the name server. Make sure, you add your CNAME to the hosted zone whose NS server matches to the nameserver returned using the dig +trace <domain name> command.

    1. dig +trace myeverydata.com returned this. Don't see the name servers ((

Hello.

Can the CNAME record of the verification domain be resolved using the "dig" command?
If the name cannot be resolved, try registering the CNAME record again.

  • The dig command returns this.

    (base) alexandernovoselov@alexanders-mbp ~ % dig _a35f656e7b464c8dda2b0cb101c97b49.myeverydata.com

    If I use dig +short _a35f656e7b464c8dda2b0cb101c97b49.myeverydata.com then it returns nothing

  • Also, just recreated CNAME records. Still same problem

  • Since the A record is returned, please check the CNAME record by typing "dig example.com cname".

Ok, the problem was in namespaces as suggested. There were still from GoDaddy, while the namespaces for the hosted zone were from AWS. After change all went well. Thank you
