DNS Configuration - "Invalid Configuration" Despite Correct Setup

I’m having trouble setting up my custom domain on Vercel. The dashboard is showing an “Invalid Configuration” error for both amochea-studio.com and www.amochea-studio.com.

However, I have already added the required DNS records:

  • A record pointing amochea-studio.com to 76.76.21.21
  • CNAME record pointing www to cname.vercel-dns.com.

I’ve waited for propagation, refreshed the settings, and checked everything, but the error persists.

I’ve attached screenshots of both the Vercel dashboard and my DNS settings to show that the configuration is correct.

Does anyone know what might be causing this issue? Could it be a delay in verification, or is there something I’m missing?
The domain is bought in vercel and last time it worked automatically, but now idk whats going on.
Thanks in advance for your help!


The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.

Same problem…

I recently purchased my domain through Vercel, expecting a seamless integration. However, I keep encountering an “Invalid Configuration” error despite following all the provided instructions.

The issue is as follows:

  1. The system instructs me to remove conflicting DNS records (e.g., a CNAME pointing to cname.vercel-dns.com.).
  2. After removing the conflicting record, I proceed to add the recommended A records as instructed (76.76.21.21).
  3. Immediately after making the change, the dashboard still reports a conflicting configuration, even though I have followed the exact steps given.

This cycle repeats endlessly, and my domain remains unusable. The instructions given by Vercel seem contradictory, and the system does not properly validate changes. I have waited for DNS propagation, refreshed the dashboard multiple times, and double-checked my settings, yet the issue persists.

This is extremely frustrating for a paid domain service. Vercel should provide clearer guidance, fix this misconfiguration issue, or at the very least, offer proper troubleshooting steps beyond the generic “Invalid Configuration” error.

Has anyone else encountered this? Any solutions? If not, Vercel needs to address this problem immediately.
