Custom domain, server functions not working?

Just a quick question, i have a basic application that works perfectly on the .anvil.app domain, but when i try to access it from my custom domain the app loads, but as soon as any server function is called, the app just seems to load indefinitely, i just see the anvil loading spinner?

I have only set my custom domain around 5 hours ago but since the app loads I am assuming its not a dns issue?

My domain is on cloudflare, but i have not proxied the anvil domain incase that was the issue?

Do i just need to patiently wait abut longer?

Hello @alex01 ,

It can take ~48 hrs for custom domains to get setup for the DNS + certificates. If I remember correctly you should get the “app not found” page if this is the cause, but they may have changed that from 6 months ago.

Does your page end up loading at all?

We might be having a similar issue on my custom domain. It’s taking about 20 seconds for my custom domain to load:

Yeah the main app loads, so it seems the client code seems to work for me, but if i do any action that requires a server functuon call, it just shows the anvil spinner indefinitely.

I will wait abit longer and hopefully it will be resolved

In thr meantime i will use the anvil.app domain as thats working perfectly.

An update for this, I have modified my client code to capture the error now, and it seems that I am getting this error: Connection to server failed (error)… but only on my custom domain.

The DNS is hosted on cloudflare, and I have turned of the proxy status for this, so I dont see how this is causing any issues?

I would appreciate any guidance on this, as the app works perfectly fine on a private link. But on custom domain, it seems only client side code is working
