DNS And Domain- Setting Up DNS With DirectAdmin
Jul 23, 2009
I've got DirectAdmin installed, and my domain name (misacampo.org) hosted with XeoDomains.com.
I'm wondering how I set up my DNS so that whenever I point more domains to my VPS their DNS will be set to ns1.misacampo.com and ns2.misacampo.com.
Would it be as simple as pointing my domain to my VPS IP, then setting up this in DirectAdmin?:
Add Zone
Domain Name:
IP Address:
Name Server 1:
Name Server 2:
Would I enter:
Add Zone
Domain Name: misacampo.org
IP Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Name Server 1: ns1.misacampo.org
Name Server 2: ns1.misacampo.org
Then point my domain to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, and set it up my domain at XeoDomains.com like so:
Add New Child Name Server
Host Name: ns1.misacampo.org
Ip Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
and
Add New Child Name Server
Host Name: ns2..misacampo.org
Ip Address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Would this work? I'm looking to do a quick shift from my old CPS (LXAdmin) to my new VPS (DirectAdmin) with at little downtime as possible. Do I need to set up any other records for the domain for my email accounts to work, or would DirectAdmin take care of all this?

I've been trying to get some domains parked using DirectAdmin's domain pointers. I've searched for threads about this on Google, and followed the instructions. I go to Domain Pointers -> Add New Domain Pointer. I put the domain into the form field (leaving 'Create as Alias' checked) and click Add. I've waited for a few days to make sure there were no caching problems, and the domains still didn't resolve. The nameservers on my domain registrar are set correctly. I've parked domains before on CPanel and it worked just fine.

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?

I'm new to using directadmin and I've got a problem; I've not yet switched the DNS over to the directadmin server 'cause I want to make sure the sites work first, however I can't find how to view the sites. With cpanel you can go to http://192.168.1.1/~username (where 192.168.1.1 = IP of server and username is username of account).
is this possible with directadmin? I can't find anything about it, anywhere.

I've taken a reseller account from ResellerZOOM which came with WHM/cPanel. I've my own private nameservers(meaning I got my own IP). I've a domain that I want to be forwarded to my wordpress.com blog, just like domain registrars offer domain forwarding but the registrar I registered my domain with doesn't give domain forwarding. so I was thinking that maybe I can point the domain to my nameservers & then have it forwarded to my wordpress.com blog. The thing is that I haven't used WHM before & I don't know how to do it, create some DNS zone maybe!!
The only way I know is to create an account for that domain, allot it some diskspace & then redirect via .htaccess file, which would be overkill IMHO. I know it can be done without creating an account, some other way.

its been long time since I have set one and its been really bugging with the feather theme interface, which I haven't used before
now, here is the pt.
I have 3 ips , I want the main ip to be unique
i.e assuming .2, .3 and .4 are the the ips we have ben provided with, where .2 is the main ip of the server (lxadmin)
now, in the dns template, I have 6 options where ip has to be assigned, as -
base, cp, mail, ns, ns1, ns2
I have set the base,cp, mail, ips to .3
I don't have a clue on what to set for the ns, ns1, ns2
I want .3 to be shown as the pinged ip when site is pinged.
We have set .3 and .4 as the nameserver ips in the registrar, so do I need to provide .3 as the ns1 ip and .4 as the ns2 ips or both the ips have to be .3
and what should be the ns ip?

Heres what Ive done created a new user and set their home directory as /home/<user>. I then made a public_html folder within their home dir.
Then I went into httpd.conf, and added a virtual host for that domain with the document root to the public_html dir i created .
At this point, what is there left to do? I need to mess with the DNS right? Anything else?

I have recently just purchased an unmanaged vps from poundhost. I have never used a vps before so we shelled out for a WHM control panel! The issue now is that we do not have a nameserver set up or any main domain to use as a nameserver.
We have the main IP address and two additional IP's given to us by poundhost, how do I use these to start hosting and managing websites?

I have a web server running Server 2003 and IIS6. I can access everything fine via IP. Now I want to have a domain name work with it.
The server is in a .local domain environment. Does anyone have any info on how I should setup DNS for the web server if the domain itself is not getting any DNS info from the outside?
Is it just a matter of adding new A and NS records or do I need to be in a FQDN domain for it to work?

I ordered a domain from Name and a shared hosting package from Hawk Host. How do I set them up so they work together? I thought all I had to do was add the Hawk Host name servers to my Name account but that doesn't seem to be helping. I don't have any webpages up yet but I do have some files uploaded to be used as a redirect for a game server. The redirect isn't loading properly most of the time and when I type my domain name into a browser my directory won't show up either, just the parking page. I ordered both of these last week.

I have a quick question about some DNS zones I'm trying to set up for a customer. I figured I would try asking the community before bugging our top-level admins (they have enough to do already, and I'd rather learn this myself).
We have a customer for whom we are managing their DNS. The site is actually hosted elsewhere, but the DNS originates on our server.
They have another site that is hosted with us, and they would like to set up a subdomain redirect from the remotely-hosted site to the site hosted on our hardware. So, the situation looks something like this:
example.com : hosted elsewhere (primary IP not ours), DNS with us
FooSite.example.com : redirect this to www.FooSite.com
I could edit httpd.conf, but it would be easiest (for firewall reasons at the moment) if I could enter in the proper zones via WHM zone editor. I'll be able to see the results either way. I tried setting up the 'A' and 'CNAME' records, and I got as far as directing the 'A' records for the subdomain to the local IP, but I'm not sure how to finish it off (assuming I'm going down the right path). My own knowledge level in this regard is somewhere between novice and intermediate (which is why I have partners and admins ).

I've got SUSE 10 loaded and installed at home.
My ISP service is highspeed from Comcast (speed right now not an issue), I would like to setup a domain name on the box to play around with - nothing serious yet.
I have several domain names purchased (Wildwest & Enom) and would like to use one of those on this box, or even more domains at a later day.

I have a domain name from godaddy and recently got a host plan in hostgator.
As this is the first time I use hosting, it is very confusing how to set it up properly.
So far what I figured out and was able to set is the DNS in godaddy and the add-on domain in hostgator.
So now I was able to point 'MyDomain' to direct to 'hostgatorDomain/MyFolder/' (names just for example).
The problem is that masking is not turned on and who ever clicks 'MyDomain' will get to the right location, but the address will change to 'hostgatorDomain/MyFolder/'.
How to do the set up so the URL will not change?

I'm trying to accomplish two goals: First, get "Pretty Links" to work on my local Wordpress instance; second, to set up a local domain for the site.I have a fresh install of Apache 2.4.6 running, and I'll I've done is enable the rewrite and vhost_alias mods. Nevertheless, here's my apache2.conf: URL....
I need to have AllowOverride set to All. This, I gather, allows .htaccess files within the subsequent directories to alter the apache config. To try one thing at a time, I'm accessing the site from localhost/var/www/dhae/Wordpress (foregoing the domain). I tried altering the 000-default.conf to oblige this: [URL] .... -- all I added was the <Directory> section. This didn't work, and neither did changing the AllowOverride to All in the apache2.conf.
I wondered if perhaps I needed something more specific to the directory, so I tried using my second goal to accomplish this. I wrote the dhae.conf: URL....
I've also added the following line to my HOSTS file:127.0.0.1 dhae.dev
This hasn't worked either. I've tried virtual host config stuff as much as I could find, and I'm just not having any luck. What I have even came from this site (URL....).

I've got a situation in which I need to have a set of mail accounts that share a domain name with a domain that's already in use as a domain alias and because the domain is already in use, I'm unable to create a new account using that domain. I tried explicitly adding "www" to the domain alias so I could keep the www.domain.com address as an alias and reserve the "domain.com" name for use as a separate account, but Plesk won't allow for that.
How to address this? The idea I'm currently considering is to delete the domain alias and then create the new account and manually set the DOCUMENT ROOT of the new account to refer to the other domain's document root. I'm sure this could create some difficulty in Plesk so I'm looking for input before trying it. I'm actually not even sure exactly where I would be able to redefine the document root with Plesk allowing the change and not overwriting it later.
If all else fails, I can setup a new account on a different and unrelated Plesk server, but I'd prefer not to do that.

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

Quite simple - does anybody know of any Directadmin resellers?
Me (and my customers) are used to directadmin so that is the control panel I would like to use on my servers. However not all hosts offer directadmin, and that means I would have to get it from directadmin.com myself.
The main 'issue' with this is pricing. Single licenses cost $29 per month. While a reseller can get the same license for a one-time fee of $49. That means turning a profit in 1.5 months when going that way instead of single licenses.
Does anybody know of a way to buy these one-time licenses? I am aware of the fact that they do not include support, that is fine.

We've had a request to assist a transfer from LxAdmin to DirectAdmin.
We don't mind moving all the files and MySQL manually, however our main concern is copying the old emails.
All the settings (ie. mail forwarders, cron jobs) can be re-created.
how to move the MailDir from LxAdmin to DirectAdmin?
