Now when I go to “recheck” the domains I get this error:
Your system has 39.28 GiB of memory, which is at or above the Virtualmin recommended minimum of 256 MiB
Errors were found in your system’s BIND configuration : /var/lib/bind/shopandgetlocal.com.hosts:32: ignoring out-of-zone data (shopangetlocal.com), /var/lib/bind/shopandgetlocal.com.hosts:33: ignoring out-of-zone data (shopangetlocal.com), /var/lib/bind/shopandgetlocal.com.hosts:36: ignoring out-of-zone data (shopangetlocal.com), zone shopandgetlocal.com/IN: has no NS records, zone shopandgetlocal.com/IN: not loaded due to errors., _default/shopandgetlocal.com/IN: bad zone
CLEARLY I’VE MADE A MISTAKE!!!
How can I fix this so that…
A. It works again!
B. ns1.workbooksonline.com is the primary nameserver
I tried adding the original wtsa-ubuntu-main.workbooksonline.com back into the BIND Configuration but that didn’t work! And then I tried going to the server template area and using the original wtsa-ubuntu-main.workbooksonline.com in the master DNS Server Hostname… that didn’t work either!
Obviously I’m way beyond where I should be with this!!! I look forward to fixing everything and getting it to run correctly!!!
I created ns1 & ns2 on my domain registrar and “glued” those as the nameservers. They are also in the DNS options as nameservers. Do I need to put them somewhere else too?
I’m in Florida so when the hurricane came through my IP address changed. So when it did I noticed that another of my servers picked up the new external IP address while the server I’m having problems with didn’t change.
In DNS for the domain workbooksonline.com itself (because that’s the domain the nameservers you created are on), you need five hostname-related entries:
NS entry for workbooksonline.com pointing to wtsa-ubuntu-main.workbooksonline.com (assuming that’s the hostname).
NS entry for workbooksonline.com pointing to ns1.workbooksonline.com
NS entry for workbooksonline.com pointing to ns2.workbooksonline.com
A entry for ns1.workbooksonline.com pointing to its registered IPV4 address
A entry for ns2.workbooksonline.com pointing to its registered IPV4 address
As for the IP addresses changing, that I have no idea about. Are they dynamically assigned? Because if that’s the case then you need someone with experience running a server on a dynamic address, which I’ve never done.
I’ve just updated the A entries… everything else is there. But all the IP addresses are point to the wrong external IP. Yes, the IP address is dynamically assigned, but the other Virtualmin servers I have running has picked up the address change. I don’t know why this one hasn’t.
Unfortunately, I don’t know either; and I make it a general practice not to give advice when I don’t know what I’m talking about. So for that part, you’ll need someone who’s run a Virtualmin server on a dynamic IP address.
A reboot might help if it’s on DHCP. Or not. Like I said, it’s not something I have any experience with. Just make sure you don’t lock yourself out of the server if you decide to try it.
Well I rebooted and the good news is that I’m not locked out! The bad news is that nothing else changed either! I messaged one of the admins here to see if he could help.
