I don't think I need to use the subdomain. I have created a A record and a TXT record as the doc suggests on namecheap.com. After wait for 24 hours, I sill get a failed to verify domain ownership error.

Remove your CNAME record. Also, remove the URL redirection and your first TXT record. You shouldn't be using both CNAME and A records together.
If using a DNS A record, you can place the TXT record directly under the domain. If using a DNS CNAME record, the two record types won't co-exist, so you need to place the TXT record in a special subdomain of its own. [source]
So your final configuration would be:
A Record @ 35.185.44.232
TXT Record @ gitlab-pages-verification-code=XXXXXX

Done. Thanks for you reply. I guess I still need to wait for at least 24 hours for it work.

I am still getting
Failed to verify domain ownership error.

@yongho Oh. Yeah, with some dns managers
@ is used. I can see your A record now and it points to GitLab. But I still can't see your TXT record. Have you managed to verify yet? If not, change the TXT record to @ as well.

This worked! Gitlab's docs makes this way too complex. Thanks a bunch.

Thanks a bunch guys, I fixed it with this as well. Gitlab's documents are not just complex, they're downright wrong. The settings page kept telling me to add CNAME and TXT while I actually needed A and TXT records. It also told me to add some keys (
example.com and _gitlab-pages-verification-code.example.com) instead of @. It's hard to tell if I'm messing up or not if DNS can supposedly take up to 24 hours to update. Small note: IP of gitlab changed to 35.185.44.232 since somewhere August 2018, for anyone else wondering. |
