Firebase hosting not connecting to custom domain

1

I have a working blahblah.firebaseapp.com default domain working correctly. No problems there. My website was on another provider so I went through the process to connect it to firebase hosting. Everything went fine and the domain status in Firebase Hosting console shows connected for my blahblah.com and www.blahblah.com domains. My problem is that when I navigate to blahblah.com, I get a page that says

Firebase Image

I can't find anyone with quite the same issue on Stackoverflow or any other site. There was one that was fixed by opening in a different browser (cached site issue), but this isn't my problem. I have double checked the DNS settings from my provider. Everything checks out. It's been close to 20 hours since I have completed the verification and the status shows connected in firebase hosting. I even re-deployed my site to firebase to see if that would reset something. Didn't help.

So now what should I do? Any ideas?

Assuming you initialized your project with default values, your public directory is what get's served. So, edit or add the index.html file in your public folder then firebase deploy. You should now be able to see your custom HTML.

I had also the same issue, experimented a bit and found the solution.

Case 1- You want your website to be served at subdomain.domain.tld as will as on domain.tld, but added only subdomain.domain.tld as custom domain on firebase hosting dashboard.

  • In this case the address domain.tld will throw an error.
  • To get rid of this error add another custom domain in your firebase hosting dashboard as domain.tld

Case- 2- You want your website to be served over domain.tld but also accessible through subdomain.domain.tld

  • Add both the domains in custom domain field.
  • Edit subdomain.domain.tld to redirect at domain.tld.

Case- 3- You want your website to be served over subdomain.domain.tld but also accessible through domain.tld

  • Add both the domains in custom domain field.
  • Edit domain.tld to redirect at subdomain.domain.tld.
