Cpanel :: Domain Name Server (DNS) (BIND) Not Working (new Install)


Cpanel version 11.1.0
Fedora Core 6

This is a totally fresh install. I noticed bind was not running so I went to do a restart in WHM and I get the following error..

named has failed, please contact the sysadmin (result was "named is not running"). Jun 5 14:19:14 dts131 named: /etc/named.conf:65: open: /var/named/named.rfc1912.zones: file not found

Have I Got BIND Domain Name Server (DNS) Right?
Ive been learning alot about BIND and DNS, id like someone to check over what ive learn't to make sure my knowledge is correct.

A Zone:

A zone is basically 'similar' to a sub-domain but the domain google.com would not be a sub-domain, so a zone is not a sub-domain. In the domain google.com 'google' would be a deligated zone from the TLD 'com'. In another example: ny.google.com , 'ny' would be a zone for google's 'new york' department, if they had one.

Hosts:

The host name is usually the most left word in a domain or you can look at it as the leaves on an inverted tree in the DNS System. Examples:

www.google.com = 'www' would be the host
mail.sitepoint.com = 'mail' would be the host
ny.google.com = 'ny' would NOT be a host because its a 'zone' and does not offer a 'service' like ftp, mail, www ect. would. Unless 'ny' was intended to be a service then it would be a host, but it would have to become a leaf in the inverted tree, so you wouldn't ba able to create any zones from it like 'mail.ny.google.com' ... if that makes sense.

Nameservers:

If i used BIND on my server to manage my Zones and DNS information (which is pretty much standard), that would be my Nameserver. Its job would be to convert human recognizable names into computer recognizable names/numbers/ip.

My nameserver would only have authority over zones that are not deligated. So an example, 'com' deligate 'mydomainname' to me (mydomainname.com) they have no authority over that zone. So if i set up a nameserver on mydomain.com they have no authority over mydomainname or any zone under that.

Domain Namespace

The Domain Namespace was setup to replace the method used by ARPA (later DARPA) in the 60's in an effort to create a database of hosts that were easy to administer and reduced the time and server load on the old skool HOSTS.TXT method.

A domain namespace is a way to identify the different domains. Im not to good at explaining what i mean but basically ill illustrate this example:

google.com and google.net both have the same names, so the namespace in this example would the the TLD's 'net' and 'com' to seperate them.

Go a bit deeper for example:

cd.music.com and cd.disk.com , both have the same TLD and sub-domain's so the namespace here is the first-level domain 'music' and 'disk'.

Sub-Domains
Sub-Domains are similar to zones, in a way. A domain name: 'google.com' might have the sub-domain 'video.google.com' which links to the video section of google. 'video' is not a deligated zone from 'google' neither is it a host as such, so its a sub-domain.

Im probably slightly confused on some parts, and im open for comments. I dont fully understand alot of it, but what ive learnt so far took a good day to get my head around. If anythings wrong, id like to know.

Open Domain Name Server (DNS) - BIND
Just being doing a load of DNSstuff.com queries to try and get everything to "pass", I noticed that some big players in the hosting scene have either open or closed DNS servers.

Softlayer.com have closed, while liquidweb.com are open...?

I have changed all mine to closed, just because dnsstuff advises it, but is there any reason you would want them open..?

DNS / Bind - Easiest Method To Redirect A Domain To Another
I've got two domains (for sake of example, domain A and domain B). Domain A resolves correctly to my web server. Domain B is just sitting collecting dust. I didn't set these domains up, a previous programmer at my job did.

How do I configure resolv.conf, named.conf and the zone file(s) correctly to have domain B redirect to domain A?

I've already set up httpd.conf so that any requests for the host name of domain A will redirect.

e.g. [url]-> [url]
I just need the DNS part of this fixed (that I'm a bit of a noob at).

Do I have to do something like this in named.conf:

Code:
zone "domaina.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts";
};

zone "domainb.com" {
type master;
file "/var/named/domaina.com.hosts";
};
Then in the domaina.com.hosts zone file add an alias like this?

Code:
domainb.com. IN CNAME domaina.com.
Or do I need to create a domainb.com.hosts zone file with basic info emulating domaina.com.hosts zone file, and add its entry in named.conf?

CPanel Domain Name Server (DNS)
After spending 1 hour wondering why all domains suddenly stopped working and the hosting server was showing no signs of fail.

A simple dns service restart on my secondary dns server fixed this.

Is there any way to auto restart the dns service upon failure on the cpanel dns only build?

Also why would the secondary dns server failing, cause the domain to stop working. The primary dns/hosting server was fine.

Domain Name Server (DNS) With CPanel / DirectAdmin
I have a reseller account that is hosted at ns1 / ns2.mydomain.com and it is configured via cPanel / WHM and is accessed by mydomain.com

I recently purchased a dedicated server and would like the dedicated server to have a ns3 / ns4.mydomain.com I also would like that the dedicated server be accessed by another domain (other than mydomain.com). Is this possible?

If that is not possible, what way is a good way of doing this?

WHM/CPANEL Domain Name Server (DNS)
I have just purchased a VPS with WHM and CPANEL.

My old VPS used LXADMIN and HYPERVM.

I'm trying to change over the DNS from the old to the new, so all i did was change the i.p's.
Now i go into WHM and type my DNS servers into the setup/config page. Having already assigned each dns name an i.p im just waiting for the Assign an A address to this namserver button to show my new i.p address.. At the minute it says my old one.

Is this the correct way, i know it can take a while to proporgate, is this the same with it showing the new IP?

anyone wants to check:
playcontrol.co.uk
ns1.playcontrol.co.uk
ns2.playcontrol.co.uk

Domain Name Server (DNS) Cluster Setup In Cpanel
Hi there, i have few question for the best suited DNS Setup for our compagny.

We have tree server located in montreal.
Two are running web services, one of them is only for dns ( home server ).

Two main server have Whm/Cpanel.
One run Cpanel Dns only.

Main server have 7 ips each
Dns server, only have 1

Let say we use domain xxx.com
Right now we have ns1/ns2/ns3/ns4 point to server1
ns5/ns6/ns7 point to server2

We have no Nameserver that point to our dns only server for now.
I'd like to advoid runing DNS Service on all of them, maybe having two slave one master would be fine. Question: What would be the best suited dns setup with my current config for best responding time and fast replication?

Cpanel Domain Name Server (DNS) Setting For Email On 2 Seperate Server
This is the scenario, domain.com are setup on server1, however server2 also has the same profile of domain.com as we use ns3 and ns4 using domain.com. This works fine with the nameserver setup on server2.

However I encounter problems as the emails from server2 won't reach server1 as there are duplicate profile on server2.

My question is how do I setup the DNS in cpanel/whm from server2 so the emails from server2 will reach server1?

Server1 (www.domain.com)
ns1.domain.com
ns2.domain.com

Server2
ns3.domain.com
ns4.domain.com

How To Domain Name Server (DNS) Cluster CPanel With ISP Manager
Currently, I run cPanel servers for my clients and also host my company website on them. However, I now wish to place my company website on a seperate system running ISP Manager, and in order to connect the servers to my DNS I presume that I would have to use DNS clustering.
Here is my question - how would I create a DNS cluster between cPanel and ISP Manager? Anyone know how?

CPanel DNS Only, Now Cant Install PHP, MySQL Etc

I would also like to serve standard webpages on it via apache and php, i therefore tired to install php, mysql etc via 'yum install php' but it says there is no package to be installed.

Are Patched Domain Name Server (DNS) Behind N.A.T. Still Vunlerable To DNS Cache Poisoning?
Upon reading http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/08...sky_black_hat/ it appears those who use network address translation may be vulnerable to DNS cache poisoning even after patching their DNS servers.

"another 15 per cent are still vulnerable to some extent because they use network address translation gear that prevents the patch from working."

Thoughts?

Host Will Only Update Domain Name Server (DNS) In Batches, Takes Several Hours For A DNS Change, Normal?
Host will only update DNS in batches, takes several hours for a DNS change, is that normal?
Well today my mail stopped working and it turns out the A record for mail was deleted. How it got deleted I don't know.

I called my host and after speaking to 2 techs, they said that have added my request to a batch, and that would update in a few hours.

I said to him, batch? What can't you do it instantly?

He said thats not the way their DNS works and any DNS change would affect thousands of other sites they are hosting.

Does anyone know what kind of dns system these people could possibly have where they can not reload a single zone?

And by affected, I think he means the sites will go down for a minute or so, while it relaods every zone. Is this really the case, or are these people just idiots?

Reverse Domain Name Server (DNS) ARPA For Domain On VPS
I have a vps with dedicated ip's for my domain names.

I read that in order for mails coming from my server not be picked up as spam, i need to add reverse ip entries.

Now i have already added the glue nameserver records on my godaddy control panel,

ns1.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.40
ns2.mydomain.com -> 10.20.30.41

But do i need to speak to the datacenter to add the reverse dns entries for my domain on their nameservers? What about if i host my nameservers offsite, but then have my webserver/mailserver etc inside the datacenter? Would i need to request the datacenter where the nameservers are hosted to add the reverse ip entries for the domain, and then the request the same from the datacenter for my web/mail servers to add the reverse entries?

Is it really required?

Domain Parking - Wildcard Domain Name Server (DNS)?
We have a lot of unused domains that we'd like to setup domain parking for.

To keep it simple, we'd like to just change the namesevers to ns1.domainparking.com and ns2.domainparking.com (not real nameservers!) and the domains would then automatically show a simple web page.

We use cpanel servers and are wondering how easy this is to do? I've seem mention of wildcard dns? Is that the answer?

Does anyone know how to resolve "parked" domains automatically on Win2k3 DNS??

I just can't find any answer for this, everything i've found required manual creation of lookup entries..

DNS And BIND 9
i work in a new ISP company, and ive been assigned to the DNS server, and before this i have never even heard of BIND, but now im in need of learning it ....and im only fairly familiar to Linux..so here are me questions:

1. where can i find a beginners guide to DNS and BIND?

2. what distribution is best suited for the server?

3. are there any default templates for the BIND config files that one could start with and modify?

4. how many files are there? i mean every time a read a bit about BIND pops up a new file name.. so how many files are enough?

5. would any1 care to help me out step by step throught my ordeal?

6. are there any training courses that i could take? are there any onlline ones? or videos that i could grab off the net?

7. how many times does a swallow have to flap its wings to maintain airspeed velocity in order to carry a coconut?

Bind 2 DNS Name To Same IP
if it is possible to bind 2 NS to the same IP

For example, I previously had n1.abc.com , ns2.abc.com bind to certain IP. Now I registered another domain name, say abcdummy.com at another reseller and was given the option to choose my private dns. But instead of ns1.abcdummy.com and ns2.abcdummy.com, I thought this name doesn't sound that nice to be an NS. So I asked for ns3.abc.com and ns4.abc.com

Which has been registered and propogated successfully. But I want to move these domains on abc.com to abcdummy.com server, as i will not be using my reseller package at abc.com any more

So now, but its a lot work to do if I was to change these domain name NS one by one. So could I instead bind ns1.abc.com and ns2.abc.com to the same IP as ns3.abc.com and ns4.abc.com

CPanel/WHM Server - Email Not Working
Just got a new server online this week from VolumeDrive, and everything has been going just fine with my initial setup. I transferred over 7 domains from another cPanel/WHM machine and the transfer feature worked flawlessly.

Since I use Gmail for most of my communication, I haven't even had any email accounts setup on any of my domains in quite sometime. So knowing that I need a few setup for various correspondence, I went ahead and set one up tonight. I've setup and used mailboxes on cPanel machines before, and it's not exactly rocket science... pretty easy stuff.

But what's weird here is that when I attempt to click on the "Webmail" icon from directly within cPanel, the Horde login fails over and over again. Then, if I setup the account in Thunderbird or Outlook using the CORRECT account information (username@domain.com as the login -- and the appropriate password/server settings), the client login fails also.

To add to this weird behavior, I sent myself an email at the newly setup address with a 2mb attachment. Obviously I can't login to the account to see if the mail arrived, but at least it didn't bounce.

However, when I'm in cPanel under this domain and go to "Email Accounts", I'm showing "0 Bytes" for usage under the account where i know there should be at least 2mb worth of usage.

DNS Poisoning - Is Your Bind Up To Date
Vendors form alliance to fix DNS poisoning flaw

An alliance of software makers and network-hardware vendors announced on Tuesday that they had banded together to fix a fundamental flaw in the design of the internet's address system.

The vulnerability in the domain name system (DNS) - the distributed database that matches a host and domain name with the numerical address of a computer server - could give an attacker the ability to replace the addresses of popular websites with that of a malicious server, said Dan Kaminsky, director of penetration testing for security firm IOActive. Kaminsky found the flaw when he was doing non-security research on the domain name system (DNS) more than six months ago.

"It is a fundamental issue affecting the design," Kaminsky said. "Because the system is behaving exactly like it is supposed to behave, the same bug will show up in vendor after vendor after vendor. This one bug affected not just Microsoft ... not just Cisco, but everyone."

On Tuesday, a number of software and network-hardware vendors released patches for their products. On its regularly scheduled patch day, Microsoft released updates for Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 to mitigate the issue, which the company ranked an important vulnerability, its second highest grade of severity. Internet Software Consortium, the group responsible for the development of the popular Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) server, also released a patch, confirming that its software contained the vulnerability. Both Cisco and Juniper also acknowledged flawed systems.

Vendors have also provided the fix to certain large clients. Yahoo will be upgrading its name servers from BIND 8 to the latest version of BIND 9, the Internet Software Consortium stated during the conference call. Internet service provider Comcast has already patched its servers for the issue, according to internet infrastructure firm Nominum. Finally, the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center has contacted some other nation's response groups to inform them of the problem.

For the most part, however, internet service providers and companies each received the fix on Tuesday, said Sandy Wilbourn, vice president of engineering at Nominum. The goal: To have every major service provider and company apply their software patches in 30 days.

For that reason, don't expect immediate action, Wilbourn said.

"For key customers on our network, we have made a special effort to get them an early release to help solve this problem, and a number of them have finished deployment," he said. "But the nature of this patch is that we wanted to get the vendor side covered and then have deployment over the next 30 days. Anyone that is not patched by today or tomorrow is not doing anything wrong."

The domain-name system (DNS) has been a popular way to attack the internet in the past - it's an ill-kept secret that the DNS system is insecure. The way that many software applications, such as browsers, handle DNS requests has opened up users to attack. Microsoft has fixed a few vulnerabilities in the way Windows handles domain names - issues that could have lead to easier eavesdropping or simpler phishing attacks.

Bind DNS Reverse Lookup File
I'm having tons of problems trying to get reverse lookup working on my dns server. I've scoured the net and tried lots of methods but so far none work.

Forward lookup DNS is working perfect, but reverse lookup is completely broken.

db.44.80.212.67:

Code:

I create an index.php in b.com/html with content: "b.com YEAH"

After wait for dns to propogated,

when i try to go to a.com, content "a.com YEAH" shows up.

But when goto b.com, content "a.com YEAH" shows up? Why?

Also, when goto ns1.a.com, content "a.com YEAH" is there.

I also has problem with vsftpd but let fix that later.

How To Set Up Nameserver In BIND DNS (Webmin)

DNS Servers, Moving From BIND To TinyDNS.
I currently have 2 DNS Servers with CPanel-DNSOnly Installed, used with CPanel's DNS Clustering options to store dns entries from CPanel web servers.

I am looking to buy a Windows server(probably with plesk), which i think will not support current CPanel DNSOnly Servers ?

What i need to do is

1. Migrate CPanelDNSOnly(which uses BIND) to TinyDNS on both servers

2. with a simple web-based management of dns entries(to give control to my clients, like DomainDNS.com)

3. and auto updating of DNS Entires from other CPanel and Windows servers, without conflicting same domain records from different servers (which i think can be solved by updating entires by Latest Modified date/time).

I am not an expert, and not really sure if i will be able to setup everything myself. here i need your help, guidence, and links to tutorials and help... From where should I start? What and How should I do? Should I consider hiring a System admin? any sugestions or reference for such admins?

I added a CNAME record on a domain using CPanel "Edit DNS Zone". It looked like this:

mail 14400 IN CNAME pop.anotherdomain.com

But when i do

host mail.mydomain.com i get

mail.mydomain.com CNAME pop.anotherdomain.com.mydomain.com

How do i make bind CNAME to pop.anotherdomain.com instead of pop.anotherdomain.com.mydomain.com.

1 Out Of 2 Domain Name Server (DNS) Is Down
There are few clients complaining site inaccessible but it could be accessible from other location.

Does this mean that the client's is resolving to the down DNS server? Any fix on this to force the client to resolve to the main DNS server?

Bind Apache To One IP In CPanel
my box has 2 ip's on it. venet0 and venet0:1. Apache is binding to both ip's. I only want it to bind to one IP and leave the other one free (on port 80 at least), before i go in and edit the apache config files by hand, is there any way to ensure i dont break anything in cPanel by doing this (i.e. are there any dependencies or does cPanel even have an intermidiate config for doing this)?

Cpanel: Bind/named
I try to set up my VPS.

I couldn't set up any domain because I always got the error "Sorry, a DNS entry for domain.com already exists, please delete it first (from all servers in the dns cluster)".

Then I realized that it's because there was no named.conf. So I tried to make a named.conf myself (I took a named.conf from another server and changed it a bit)... at least I could add DNS Zones and domains now. But it still wasn't working very well.

Is there a way to build named.conf by fedora or cpanel?

Domain Name Server DNS Pointing
Hello all, hope someone can help.

I have a domain incl. hosting (fanferwalde.com) and three extra domain names, fanferwalde.nl , fanfalingasate.com , fanfalingasate.nl (all three without hosting) who I want to point to fanferwalde.com.

Before I bought the extra domains I asked the provider if I could point the extra domains to the “head” domain (fanferwalde.com).
Yes, that was possible they said so I bought the extra domains.
I asked the provider to help with the configuration to point them to the head domain but they refused, I must do it by myself……………………..
There is no possibility they do it when I pay extra for it so I feel pressed to take also a hosting for the extra domains; then I can make a redirect on each index page.

All domain names have an own DNS control panel. I have full access to this.

The first picture is the DNS from the head domain.

The second picture is the DNS from one of the extra domains I want to point to the head domain.


What must I put where so the website from fanferwalde.com will appear when I write fanferwalde.nl in the browser?
THANKS in advance!!!

(Sorry for my bad English, I’m Dutch)

Domain Name Server DNS Cluster
I´m running 4 servers on a cpanel - dns - cluster.

- 1 running cpanel (srv01)
- 3 running cpanel-dns-only (cluster01 - cluster03)

My DNS config is:

srv01 - dns1.domain.com
cluster01 - dns2.domain.com

I ´ve setup on srv01:
- cluster01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster02 (standalone)
- cluster03 (standalone)

On cluster01:
- srv01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster02 (standalone)
- cluster03 (standalone)

And on cluster02 and cluster03, I did something like that:
- srv01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster03 (standalone)
And
- srv01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster01 (synchronize changes)
- cluster02 (standalone)

1. So, is that correct?

2. It seems that when I click on 'syncronize all DNS records on all the servers' only cluster01 and srv01 got all the DNS records. So is it normal?

Yet If I add a domain on cluster02 for example, where I need to add the DNS? cluster02 named.conf or on cluster01/srv01?

Domain Name Server (DNS) Changes With Subdomains
I currently have shared hosting, but am getting VPS with another company. I'd like to keep my domains on my original hosting and direct the domains to the new server. I've been reading and it doesn't seem that hard to change for a regular domain. The problem is I don't seem to understand how to do the same for a subdomain. I keep reading about the A record and CNAME, but just don't get it.

Does anyone have any experience with this. Do I just put the IP address for the new server in the A record? I just want to make sure I know what's going on before I order my new hosting and find out it's not possible or something.

I'm also curious if mail, like myname@mydomain.com will continue to work. Or is there something I need to change for this as well.

Domain Name Server (DNS) Mixup
I am currently a hosting reseller. I moved all of my 44 accounts to a new reseller host, and I pointed my custom nameservers to the new host's IP's today.

MAJOR PROBLEM - When you type in my domain of www(dot)shoppepro(dot)com, you see one of my customer's websites www(dot)alltiedupbowtique(dot)com!!!!
My website should look like this: http : / / 74.86.84.168 /

Besides that,

40 of my 44 accounts are down completely. I've opened a ticket at my reseller but no one is getting back to me. This is very embarrassing. I use cPanel/WHM. Can anyone offer a possible solution?

Domain Name Server (DNS)service?
Right now I've got some users with their own domains. If I ever want to switch hosts, they'll have to switch their DNS around themselves.

I'd prefer to pay for a host-independent DNS so they'll never need to touch their DNS again. Is such a thing available?
