I have Google Apps working nicely on gerardmason.com. Thank you very much, no complaints.
I also have a little Servlet/JSP/PostgreSQL-based website at wow.gedsguides.com that I have just finished porting to App Engine, more or less. The new version is currently accessible at http://com-gedsguides-wow-read.appspot.com/. So now it's time to think about switching off the old site and making "wow.gedsguides.com" point to the GAE app. It should be fairly simple. But there appears to be a whole rigmarole involving Google Apps that I don't like the look of. It starts off badly: when I read the article at http://code.google.com/appengine/articles/domains.html it has a main heading "Deploying your Application on your Google Apps URL" and then almost immediately a subheading "Deploying your application to a domain of your choice". It sounds as though the person who wrote the article thought that those two were the same thing. They are very much not the same thing. I want to deploy my application on a domain of my choice (wow.gedsguides.com); I do *not* want to deploy my application on my Google Apps URL (gerardmason.com). Nevertheless, I tried the first step: going to my application's control panel and clicking the Add Domain button, then entering "gedsguides.com" on the following page. I wasn't particularly apprehensive: the DNS server for gedsguides.com is still pointing at my existing ISP. What could possibly go wrong? Anyway, when it moved on again, I got a Google Apps login page for user "@gedsguides.com". WTF?^H^H^H^H Goodness me! I don't have Google Apps set up on gedsguides.com, of course (it's on gerardmason.com), so I was unable to log in. Naturally, I don't want to set up Google Apps on gedsguides.com - why would I, when I already have it somewhere else? Is this right, or have I made a stupid mistake? Why can't I just point wow.gedsguides.com at appspot, the way you can point arbitrary urls at your blogger blog, for example?
