This must have been discussed number of times.. but honestly i did so much googling around but it is impossible find a proper answer.

First i built an app using appengine. Then I went to Versions tab in my appengine and tried to Add domain, which led me to buy the domain using google apps. Once I bought it, i'm lost totally. How do I map my appengine application to www.mydomain.com. I'm not asking about naked domain (http://mydomain.com). that is the least of my problem.

I can see myapp.appspot.com as a service under google apps account. But, how do I map it to www.mydomain.com? Currently it is getting mapped a "google sites" generated page.

Please advice.

The details on how to set it up is here

If you want it to map to www. then put 'www' where they have 'my-app-id' in the last image.

Not having bought a domain through Google, I don't know if they provide DNS configuration. But what you need to do is to configure the DNS for your domain, so that it has a CNAME entry for the subdomain(s) you want to point to your application. It would look something like this:

Subdomain | Type  | Data
www       | CNAME | ghs.google.com.

Then, in the App Engine part of the Google Apps administration for your domain, you would click "Add new URL" and put "www" in the text box and press "Add".

Hi Blixt! This works for me. :) This was the only missing part at my end. I added WWW CNAME and now I am happy.
