Introduction

The Pages Error is a common issue encountered when users attempt to connect a custom domain to their Pages within ActiveCampaign. Upon setting up the CNAME in their domain registrar, users may see an error message stating, "There was an error processing your request. Try again. If the problem persists, contact customer support." This error typically arises during the domain connection process and can affect the functionality of landing pages associated with your domain. Understanding the potential causes and resolutions can ensure a smoother setup and enhance your marketing campaigns using ActiveCampaign.

How to Access This Feature

To experience the Pages Error firsthand or to troubleshoot this issue, you will need to attempt to connect a domain to your ActiveCampaign Pages. This process usually takes place in the settings section of the platform, where you manage your domains and Pages configuration.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here are the steps to connect a domain and possibly encounter the Pages Error:

1. Log in to your ActiveCampaign account. 2. Navigate to the **Pages** section from the main menu. 3. Select the option to add or connect a custom domain. 4. Follow the prompts to enter your custom domain and configure the necessary DNS settings in your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy). 5. Save your changes and attempt to refresh or revisit the Pages setup. 6. If you see the error message, be ready to take the next troubleshooting steps.

Configuration Options

When dealing with the Pages Error, specific configurations in your domain's DNS settings must be checked and rectified. Key configuration options include:

• CNAME Records: Ensure that the CNAME record for your domain is set up correctly, without conflicts. A CNAME pointing to 'www' when redirected can cause errors.
• Domain Setup: Confirm that your domain is properly pointed to the desired location without other redirection issues.

Best Practices

To minimize the chances of encountering the Pages Error, consider the following best practices:

• Always consult your domain registrar's documentation before configuring your DNS settings, especially regarding setting up CNAME Records. This can prevent misconfiguration.
• Verify that your chosen domain does not have existing conflicting CNAME records. Most common cases involve domains that have a redirect set up for 'www'.
• If unsure, contact your domain registrar’s support for assistance in ensuring that your DNS settings are correct before trying to connect the domain to ActiveCampaign.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter the Pages Error, here are some steps to help you resolve it:

1. Check your DNS settings for any existing CNAME records that could conflict. If a CNAME for 'www' already exists, it may be causing the issue. 2. Review any redirects set up at your domain registrar that could interfere with the CNAME setup. 3. Confirm that all changes have been propagated fully. DNS changes may take time to update. 4. Refer to the specific configuration guides provided by your domain registrar, such as GoDaddy's documentation on setting up CNAME records. 5. If the issue persists after following the above steps, contact ActiveCampaign customer support for further assistance.
