You can face some problems or errors while parking your custom domain or setting up/updating your SSL certificate. We've listed the most common issues for you:
Certificate chain is incomplete
Your certificate is missing intermediate and/or root certificates. You need to add them all, one after another, in the exact given order, where the first (end-user) certificate always goes first. Certificates need to go on a new line, without line breaks between them. Usually SSL issuers or domain hosting providers provide not only the end-user certificate but a whole ZIP file, where all the required intermediate/root certificates are included or directly provided in an all-in-one file commonly called a "CA bundle". If you did not get such ZIP/file, you need to search on your issuer's/provider's website or contact their support. Below are displayed two wrong examples and one correct - the right one.
Could not find CNAME record in domain DNS targeting 'XXXXX.ladesk.com' domain
This message is just a notification about the fact that your CNAME DNS record was not set up correctly or just not applied/propagated over the world yet. You can use online tools to check the CNAME record of your custom domain like whatsmydns.net. Note that some hosting providers are proxying DNS records. To park your LiveAgent account, the CNAME record cannot be proxied. If you are sure that the CNAME is correctly set and just needs time, ignore this warning and wait for the record to propagate to our servers, this can take up to 24 hours.
Certificate can not be recognized or CA bundle can not be recognized or Certificate and private key do not match
It is impossible to match the key and certificate you've entered. You must insert a valid private key and certificates. You can check whether your private key and certificate match through online tools like this certificate key matcher.
Domain configuration in progress. Please wait...
Our system is processing your request, and you need to wait. If you still see this message after 15 minutes, don't hesitate to contact us via email or chat, and we will investigate the issue as soon as possible.
The custom domain format is invalid
Double-check if your domain is written in a valid format without typos. Your domain shouldn't contain any protocol, end slash, page/directory so a correct input would be for example support.mydomain.com
Domain is already used or Domain is already used by another account
The domain you've chosen is already taken by another customer. You have to set up another one. If you think this is a mistake, don't hesitate to contact us via email or chat, and we will investigate the issue as soon as possible.
Domain is reserved domain or Domain can not be used as it is reserved domain
This message occurs when you try to use something.ladesk.com as a custom domain, or any of these reserved words: localhost, dev, www, ftp, http, https, mailhost, mail, host, api, newweb, static, signup, support, demo, geo, iso, ios, members, addons, qualityunit.
You can not set custom domain to an IP address
It is not allowed to use an IP address as a custom domain. Please use 3rd level domain instead.
Domain name cannot be empty
Insert your custom domain into the Custom domain field and try again.
Custom certificate can only be used with custom domain
Insert your custom domain into the Custom domain field and try again. If you do not want to use a custom domain, you do not need to set up an SSL certificate. Our cloud accounts are secured and use a shared wildcard certificate *.ladesk.com by default.
