title: How to map custom domain to an AWS Elastic Beanstalk URL?
body: <p>I'm following the instructions <a href="http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/customdomains.html" rel="noreferrer">Using Custom Domains with AWS Elastic Beanstalk</a> to map a custom domain to an <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/" rel="noreferrer">AWS Elastic Beanstalk</a> URL.</p>
  
  <p>My Elastic Beanstalk URL is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://myenvironment-specific-string.elasticbeanstalk.com/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've created a CNAME record that says:</p>
  
  <pre><code>www.example.com     myenvironment-specific-string.elasticbeanstalk.com  8 hrs
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've also looked up the CNAME using MxToolBox' <a href="http://www.mxtoolbox.com/CNAMELookup.aspx" rel="noreferrer">CNAME Lookup tool</a> where it shows it correctly.
  But when I try <code>www.example.com</code>, it doesn't show up. </p>
  
  <p>Am I missing something? I'm stuck and this is racking my brains apart! Help me! :(</p>
