Common Issues

• Authentication Failed: Check if APIkey or account password is correct, confirm token is a 32-character MD5 value
• Domain Not Found: Ensure domain is under your West.cn account, check configuration spelling
• Record Creation Failed: Check if subdomain has conflicting records, verify TTL settings are reasonable
• Request Rate Limit: Reduce request frequency
