I know there is a lot forum topic for this but no full one from bigging to end. There is this video series http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dENitBkYe8 but not detail how to setup your server so you can host another websites. Also https://www.virtualmin.com/documentation/dns/faq don’t totally cover all the questions. I wont full tutorial how to setup full setup for dedicated server with one dedicated ip address and domain which is both from goddady.
My point is how to setup the server so when i do DNS Check there is no error.
I think this is mast to do for better usage and understanding of virtualmin for hosting.
This is not just for me but for everyone how wont to start a server and host web sites with Virtualmin. Because I think Virtualmin is great tool for that.
When I type host xx.com xx.xx.xx.xx I get
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
My domain is registered at godaddy and there is the xx.xx.xx.xx ip set for the name serverns1.xx.com and ns2.xx.com and that domain is pointing to that ns.
I also change the /etc/host to be like this after instalin Virtualmin to be like this
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
xx.xx.xx.xx s1.xx.com s1 is there any need to change anything in virtualmin and does the DNS record shuld be like something this
Also when i do host xx.com i get the corect ip but when I do host xx.xx.xx.xx i get
xx.xx.xx.xx.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer xx.xx.xx.xx.yy.com. yy.com is where my server is located in there network.
When i do dns check i get:
No glue records found at parent name servers for ns2.xx.com and
Checking name server authority:
xx : no nameservers
One or more name servers is not authoritative for this domain (or did not respond in time).
Hmm, some of the above errors you’re getting make it sound like either BIND isn’t running, or isn’t remotely accessible.
Is your server running behind a NAT router? If so, you’d have to forward port 53 UDP in from your router.
Also, is there a firewall in front of your server? If so, you’d need to make sure it wasn’t blocking any DNS traffic.
Now, to make sure BIND is running – what output do you get if you run this command on your server:
netstat -an | grep :53
And then, regarding this –
Also when i do host xx.com i get the corect ip but when I do host xx.xx.xx.xx i get xx.xx.xx.xx.in-addr.arpa domain name pointer xx.xx.xx.xx.yy.com. yy.com is where my server is located in there network.
Running “host xx.xx.xx.xx” does a check on your reverse DNS. That’s something your ISP controls – you can contact them in order to modify your reverse DNS.
