Which CNAME is the one to change and how?

CNAME:webapp-2247069.pythonanywhere.com

below that, it says Your domain's current CNAME is webapp-2041727.pythonanywhere.com. Check this help page for more information about how to set it up correctly.

Now, what do I do? Do I change the webapp-2247069 to webapp-2041727? or visa versa? Which one is the correct one? The help page is too long and too many information and I am confused. If you know my domain CNAME, why not set it that for me instead of assigning to a wrong one and ask me to change it??? Thank you for your help!

We can't change your CNAME because that is a change that has to be made on your domain registrar's page -- no-one but you can change it, as otherwise people would be able to point your domain at any server they wanted.

The web page says that your CNAME should be webapp-2247069.pythonanywhere.com, but is currently webapp-2041727.pythonanywhere.com. So you should log on to your registrar's site, find where you set up the CNAME, and change it from webapp-2041727.pythonanywhere.com to webapp-2247069.pythonanywhere.com.
