Are you getting the error “Error: Salesforce.com can’t validate the domain. The CNAME record may still be processing (which can take up to 24 hours), or the domain may not belong to you. Make sure the domain name yourdomain uses yourdomain .00d1i0000023456789.live.siteforce.com as its CNAME target and try again later.”

If you are looking for steps to setup the community with custom URL , follow this post. : salesforce community with custom domain

This error means that your DNS entry in your domain server is not pointing to the correct url or it has not been setup yet. Usually if you have added the CNAME record recently, it might take some time ..upto 24 hours to propagate.

Recently I had this error for quite some time and 1 quick change on the DNS server resolved it quickly.

 

Hope this article will help someone ..someday.

Keep reading and sharing the knowledge…
