Error codeView as Markdown

This hostname is in use by another project. This hostname is already attached to another Guv project. Guv never lets one account claim a domain another account has verified.

  • HTTP status: 409 Conflict
  • CLI exit code: 2 (the request or file is not valid)
  • Retry: not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

Prove ownership with a fresh TXT record: _guv-challenge.{hostname} = {token}.

  1. If you own the domain, remove it from the other project first, or prove ownership with the TXT record and contact support.

Words in {braces} are filled in from the error response, which names the exact resource.

The code field is stable: match on it, not on title or detail, which may be reworded.
