After working on codecademy.com and udacity.com to get some understanding of web app development, I’m finally attempting to get my own websites up and running and take a crack at writing an app. I took some advice and started experimenting with App Engine, but hit a major snag pretty quickly. I assume that I’m overlooking something obvious, but I can’t find the right documentation.
End goal:
serve andrewhelloapp.appspot.com from helloworld.axiomofcats.com
Where I am right now:
- as per udacity instructions I signed up for app engine with
drew.matteson@gmail.com - I verified with SMS and created a hello world app at
andrewhelloapp.appspot.com - I want to serve this off of helloworld.axiomofcats.com (I own
axiomofcats.com) - Found instructions to do this at this page:
http://support.google.com/sites/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=99448 - I could not figure out how to associate my drew.matteson@gmail.com
with Google Apps - I registered for axiomofcats.com with Google Apps
(drew.matteson@axiomofcats.com), and went through the process of
verifying my ownership of the website - I then attempted to get drew.matteson@axiomofcats.com an app engine
account - I could not register it due to the one phone # for SMS verification
limit
My assumptions so far
- To serve an app off a subdomain helloworld.axiomofcats.com that was
developed with appengine, I believe I need one account with two
things- access to app engine
- access to google apps
My perceived problem:
- drew.matteson@gmail.com has access to app engine, but can’t register
a domain with google apps - drew.matteson@axiomofcats.com has the domain that I want to serve
from, but can’t register for app engine unless I use a phone number
other than my own
This is similar to the unanswered question found here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/805855/google-app-engine-registering-a-new-application
ideas?
