You won't be able to access your application on the "naked" domain (at least not currently). You'll always need to redirect the client browser from the naked domain to a particular hostname (e.g., "www"), and the hostname is used to route requests to your App Engine application (note that you can use a wildcard to route all hostnames to your app). Google Apps does have a built-in mechanism to perform this redirect.
It's hard to find stuff in the Apps console and they keep moving things around. App Engine things (domains, SSL, host mappings) tend to get buried. Try going to the following url to see the naked domain redirection configuration (after auth'ing to the appropriate domain at http://www.google.com/a/[your-domain.com]): https://admin.google.com/AdminHome?pli=1&fral=1#Domains: (I just clicked the Domains button to get to the above link in case that direct link doesn't work.) j On Thursday, 5 December 2013 20:33:38 UTC-6, [email protected] wrote: > > Hello!
