Specifying web app domain name in resource manager template

I am currently trying to create Resource Manager Template files for azure web apps. Nothing complicated initially, just deploying a website from a GitHub template

As the raw template it works fine, however now I am trying to make it automatically attach the domain name. This is the relevant section of the resource file:

"apiVersion": "2015-04-01",
"name": "TDtestSimpleSiteWP",
"type": "Microsoft.Web/sites",
"location": "West Europe",
"dependsOn": [
  "[resourceId('Microsoft.Web/serverfarms', 'TDtestSimpleSiteSP')]"
],
"properties": {
  "serverFarmId": "TDtestSimpleSiteSP",
  "hostnames": [
    "www.example.uk",
      "tdtestSimpleSitewp.azurewebsites.net"
  ],
  "enabledHostNames": [
    "www.example.uk",
      "tdtestSimpleSitewp.azurewebsites.net",
      "tdtestSimpleSitewp.scm.azurewebsites.net"
  ],
},

the enabledHostNames section is the latest addition to test if that made any difference, it didn't. Neither did adding a hostNameSslStates.

The error I am now receiving is:

'There are no host names which could be used for validation.'

If I add the site through the portal it accepts the DNS validation is done, so I know its not a DNS issue.

I have looked through the relevant schema but can't find anything there that looks relevant.

Any thoughts?

Was currently doing some research for this, and found out that it can be done.

Variables

"webSiteName": "yourawesomewebapp"
"customDomain": "www.example.com"

Template

{
  "name": "[concat(variables('webSiteName'),'/',variables('customDomain'))]",
  "apiVersion": "2015-08-01",
  "type": "Microsoft.Web/sites/hostNameBindings",
  "location": "West Europe",
  "dependsOn": [
    "[concat('Microsoft.Web/sites/', variables('webSiteName'))]"
  ],
  "properties": {
    "siteName": "[variables('webSiteName')]",
    "domainId": null,
    "hostNameType": "Verified"
  }
}

Try https://resources.azure.com/ for a stripped down RM/JSON azure portal, very useful for stuff like this.

I was getting the same error when deploying sites with websites behind a traffic manager. Template exported from portal included traffic manager endpoints in hostnames and enabledHostNames. After removing them - everything was created and proper entries (from traffic manager) were added automatically by Azure to hostnames.

I know that this question is old, but maybe my experience will help someone :)

This may help, looks like it is not supported to create the external binding at the time of web app creation but could be done as a second step...
