Virtualmin nameserver not working

[JunaidAshraf]

Hi,

I have newly configured Virtualmin server on my new AWS VPS. Registered a nameserver in hostinger pointed to the new Virtualmin server setup but it’s now working, somehow it’s not resolving any of my domain, neither it’s showing any A record for these domains. I have checked their NS record which is ns1.ninjainstance.host and ns2.ninjainstance.host it’s correct but no A record for that. If this works setup will be successful for server.

I am new to virtualmin, please help.

Thanks

I checked that ninjainstance.host as well as ns1 and ns2.ninjainstance.host are pointing to 15.207.8.7 so you have set up DNS correctly. You also need to open port 53 for TCP and UDP for BIND to work. Can you confirm if you have done this?

Thanks for your reply

Yes, I have already done this, currently all the TCP ports are open.

Still having same issue,

Can you please just describe the steps in order to setup nameserver.

When setting nameserver to Cloudflare domain is working, but when setting it to my private virtual min nameserver it’s not working.

Thanks

Hi,

I just opened all the UDP Ports and now I can see it’s working fine, I can see A records for all my domains pointing to my nameserver now. Should I now only open UDP port 53 and close other ports?

Thanks for your great help @ calport

Can you also solve my email issue, I can receive email on my usermin account from outside but no email is sent from the usermin to outside, meaning Inbound email working but outbound not working

Thanks again

I am glad you got BIND working at last, @JunaidAshraf.

For help with sending out email, see:

Free smarthost / mail relay to work around port 25 block by VPS host

If your VPS host (AWS, OVH, Vultr, Bluehost, Digital Ocean et al) is blocking port 25 and this is causing problems with your Virtualmin installation and testing, I will be happy to offer you free smarthost / mail relay service for testing or low volume email. To get started, you will need to send me the IP address of your Virtualmin box (VPS) and the list of domain names which will be authorized to send email. I will then give you the IP address of my Virtualmin box and the SPF and DKIM records…

Let’s start a separate topic, if required, for email, as this one is about nameservers.

But there will be more users to send emai, currently it’s only a few domain for testing. How to actually fix the issue for this port 25 block by my host? Is there any alternative methods or fix to work with this.

Almost all the domains need email working. Please let me know if I can use another port or anything to make is fully functional?
