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.
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
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
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?
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?
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 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
I have two servers running cPanel/WHM, with BIND and Exim. I have my main domain running on one server (gizmo.mywebhost.net) and wish to host a seperate helpdesk on a subdomain support.mydomain.com (on a second server, stripe.mywebhost.net).
The subdomain mail account test@support.mydomain.com works fine with hotmail, i can send and reveive between my stripe.mywebhost.net server and hotmail without any issue.
The problem is when i try and send mails from accounts hosted on gizmo.mywebhost.net, to the subdomain server stripe.mywebhost.net, i get the following unroutable address error fired back by the local exim process:
This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

Currently I have 1 user hosting crash in my cpanel server.
I fail to restore and terminate or recreate his account in whm.
May I know what is the steps to remove and clean the hosting account in ssh?
I user /script/killacct but fail. So, i need manualy to delete user, hositng account and his mysql database in ssh, mode.
When a domain name is pointing to our server and the account is not setup yet, there's a default page that says:"

Great Success!
Apache is working on your cPanel® and WHM™ Server
If you can see this page, then the people who manage this server have installed cPanel and WebHost Manager (WHM) which use the Apache Web server software and the Apache Interface to OpenSSL (mod_ssl) successfully. They now have to add content to this directory and replace this placeholder page, or else point the server at their real content.
How can I modify that page ONLY for ROOT accounts and not my resellers?
When I hit my server's domain it redirects me to one of the hosted sites' domain with a 302 redirect. It used to return the default plesk server page. How can I cancel the redirect?
View 2 Replies View RelatedWe 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?
i have about 8 different domains i'd like to point to a nameserver (ns1./ns2.mydomain.com) on Win2k3 server, but i can't get them resolved through my nameserver without creating a manual forward lookup entry for each *parked* domain separatly..
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..
anyone?
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?
I've been having some DNS problems with one of my domains for quite some time now. The domain does not always resolve - some go days without being able to access the site.
I ran a simple BASH script to show what I mean. I replaced my domain with "mysite.net" and the IP with "xx.xx.xxx.xxx".
# for i in `seq 1 15`; do host mysite.net; done
mysite.net has address xx.xx.xxx.xxx

Has anyone experienced a similar problem? I have gone over the DNS records countless times and see no problems. The site is hosted on my own dedicated server.
