What Is The Mysterious Custom Domain Mistake 12?
Thursday, February 21, 2013
Edit
Both the historically infamous "Another weblog ..", together with the currently infamous "Error 12", are purpose of the custom domain publishing process.
Similar to the mysterious "bX" codes beingness an enhanced version of "We're sorry, but nosotros were unable to consummate your request.", "Error 12" (and variants) is an enhanced version of the monolithic "Another weblog or Google Site is already using this address.".
"Another blog" (which was to a greater extent than oftentimes than non seen during usage of the Blogger Publishing wizard) is complemented past times the as annoying "Not found" (which is to a greater extent than oftentimes than non seen afterwards Publishing is used).
The "Another weblog ..." / "Not Found" status is non desirable - for a working domain.
The condition, inward general, appears to live on an unavoidable effect of the flexible Blogger custom domain design. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Blogger custom domain published weblog tin hand notice live on 1 host inward a domain cluster, that tin hand notice as good include a Tumblr blog, a WordPress blog, whatever issue of tertiary political party hosted websites - together with fifty-fifty an strange characteristic similar a forum.
Blogger custom domain publishing is a powerful feature.
Blogger custom domains tin hand notice live on purchased from (almost) whatever registrar - together with tin hand notice usage DNS provided past times (virtually) whatever DNS host. It's to a greater extent than powerful than competing Internet services. Use of "CNAME" referral, to connect the weblog together with domain, is innovative, together with smart.
Custom domain publishing does to a greater extent than or less of the domain processing from your estimator - instead of entirely from Google. Use of your computer, unfortunately, involves computers together with networks uncontrolled past times Google - together with may atomic number 82 to occasional database corruption, together with to "Another blog". Custom domain publishing depends upon DNS - together with DNS is an Internet service controlled past times neither Google or whatever weblog owner.
"Another blog" together with "Not found" are 2 displays, caused past times 1 problem.
The mysterious "Server Not Found", seen occasionally, is similar to the classic "Another weblog ..." error.
In many cases, righteous DNS addressing is acquaint - but broken links, inward the Google database, travel out the weblog displayed as “Not found”. "Another blog" is seen past times the weblog owner, when publishing - together with "Not found" is typically seen past times would live on weblog readers, together with search engines, afterwards publishing.
An experienced weblog possessor would to a greater extent than oftentimes than non prefer the former, to the latter. The owner, when seeing "Another blog", tin hand notice ready the problems - then prospective readers together with search engines tin hand notice sentiment the blog, without seeing "Not Found".
"Error 12" is the best known, but non the only, "Error".
"Error 12" is the best known "Error" - but non the only one. There look to truly live on several dozen dissimilar variants of "Error 12", which refer to problems amongst the Publishing dashboard wizard. We've seen "Error 32", at least.
32 "Error" codes is nowhere as complex as 36^6 "bX" codes - but it's a start.
An representative of the infamous "Error 12", seen long ago.
Earlier, "domain ownership verification was needed, when publishing to newly setup domains. We have, during the past times year, seen reports of Publishing problems labeled "Error 13", "Error 14", together with "Error 32".
"Error 12", inward reality, is non an actual fault status - it is precisely a domain, requiring normal ownership verification. Recently, the "Error 12" label was removed from the "domain ownership verification is needed" display - together with now, nosotros precisely consider the label "Third political party domain settings".
"Error 13", "Error 14", together with "Error 32" look to as good involve domain ownership verification - but amongst slightly dissimilar circumstances. There may as good live on to a greater extent than or less "Error" numbers which involve features other than domain ownership verification. And to a greater extent than or less "bX" codes are caused past times bogus DNS addressing, encountered during custom domain publishing - similar diverse "Error" codes.
The "Error 12" seen now, amongst verification instructions re written - together with without the "Error 12" label.
Ownership verification has decease both to a greater extent than flexible - together with less necessary.
Domains purchased through Google Domains don't demand ownership verification, when purchased nether the Blogger / Google concern human relationship as the weblog owner. The Google Domains service, originally available only to USA residents, is straightaway (as of August 2018) available inward Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, Spain, Thailand, UK, USA, together with Vietnam..
Also, Blogger straightaway accepts domain ownership verification using options available through Google Webmaster Tools - the latter straightaway itself known as Search Console. These options offering verification mightiness to weblog owners who can't usage simple "CNAME" referral.
Originally, add-on of a novel "CNAME" was necessary, for each usage of Publishing - amongst a novel BlogSpot URL involved. After Blogger tuned the verification process, nosotros noted that the instant "CNAME" is only required for a new, unverified domain - together with non e'er that, either.
With the "Error 12" designation retired, the other Publishing "Error" labels reference actual fault atmospheric condition - together with may offering to a greater extent than diagnostic mightiness than the monolithic "Another blog".
For people fortunate to live on able to usage Google Domains, buy together with setup of a non BlogSpot address is slow becoming a projection to a greater extent than doable past times weblog owners, instead of past times tech experts. And the "Error 12" variants volition brand diagnosis of mutual publishing errors to a greater extent than possible.
When Blogger added domain ownership verification to the custom domain publishing procedure inward 2012, weblog owners started seeing the mysterious "Error 12", suggesting that ownership verification was required. We've seen diverse other "Error" codes inward the past times five years, - to a greater extent than or less as good referencing ownership verification, together with others referencing other publishing problems.
It appears that the diverse "Error" codes are used to position problems encountered inward the Publishing wizard, similar to how the bX codes are used to position problems inward Blogger, inward general.
