"Domain not registered to account"

Question

I've set up a Lightsail Instance and made it the origin of a distribution. I have a custom domain bought from Porkbun, for which I created and attached a certificate to that distribution, and modified a DNS zone for the nameservers. Yet, under status, it still says "Domain not registered to account", and I get an error when I try to access both my custom domain and the default domain provided.

I'm also getting this. Everything seems configured correctly. I'm disappointed the error message 'Domain not registered to account' is nowhere to be found in the documentation.

Is the DNS zone in Route53? If so, did you modify the DNS config in Porkbun to point to the Route53 name servers?

I posted a blog about setting up DNS for ACM that might help - its mainly about automating the configuration but there might be something useful - https://headforthe.cloud/article/managing-acm-with-terraform/

I'm having the same issue after enabling certificate for CDN distribution & custom domain.

1. Domain is correctly added in Lightsail 'Domains & DNS' and DNS servers are managed in AWS Lightsail.
2. CNAME records have been automatically added by AWS in 'DNS records' in domain's DNS zone upon activation of certificate.

And yet, after certificate has been enabled and everything is showing as correct, under 'Networking' >> 'Custom domains'  both domains (mydomain.com & www.mydomain.com) are showing in 'Status' as 'Domain not registered to account'.

Anybody knows why this is happening?
