How To Set Up Nameserver In BIND DNS (Webmin)
Mar 17, 2007I've been trying to set up my own name servers in my Webmin, however, I am frustrated now, as it never seems to work for me. The tutorials available are kind of outdated.

View 1 Replies View Relatedlinking domains to folders. Im using webmin on a Debian server, and setting up the DNS and BIND isn't a problem, i can do that, but what if i want to link, lets say example.com to the folder hdoc/example/ , how would one do that?
At the moment when setting up the zones, they link to the main page.
I've got mydomain.com using my own BIND nameserver hosted on a dedicated server.
I need subdomain.mydomain.com to have a dynamic IP. I know many dynamic DNS providers, but they all require you to change the nameservers of your domain to their own nameservers. Unfortunately I cannot do this - I need mydomain.com to keep using my nameservers.
I therefore need a way to get my nameserver to query a dynamic DNS providers' nameserver for subdomain.mydomain.com. Esentially my nameserver would just copy the IP that the other nameserver returns. Can BIND do this, or if not, any other name-server software?
In 'Operations > DNS manager > Nameservers' the nameserver lists the hostname of the node as the nameserver. How do you specify or alter the nameserver to something different which would be more standard for example ns.domain.name?

Any way to modify named.conf?
1) I use DNSMadeEasy for a couple of my important domains so I can utilize their failover service.
2) I use my own nameservers for everyone else.
At my register (GoDaddy) I've added host entries to my domain (let's call it host.com) for ALL of my nameservers: DNSMadeEasy and mine. For example here are my host entries:
1) nsdme0.host.com = 55.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
2) nsdme1.host.com = 56.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
3) nsdme2.host.com = 57.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
4) nsdme3.host.com = 58.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
5) nsdme4.host.com = 59.55.55.55 (DNSMadeEasy)
6) ns1.host.com = 60.55.55.55 (mine)
7) ns2.host.com = 61.55.55.55 (mine)
At the register I've then configured host.com to use the first five nameservers for itself, the DNSMadeEasy nameservers.
For less critical sites that I host I simply point them to ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com, my nameservers.
Now, here's the twist. If I use dig to look up www.host.com I get:
[root@lax1 ~]# dig +trace www.host.com
; <<>> DiG 9.3.3rc2 <<>> +trace www.host.com

What I've realized is that the actual IP addresses for nameserver host entries come from a higher level server than my own, in this case H.GTLD-SERVERS.net. I guess this makes sense but I just hadn't realized it before. It looks like I don't even need to have record entries in my DNS records for the host nameservers.
Now for the question. Can I:
1) Remove my custom host nameserver entries from my register.
2) Add entries in my DNSMadeEasy records to specify the location of ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com.
3) Use the failover provided by DNSMadeEasy to also fail-over my DNS entries for my nameservers?
I know this would require one more hop if it works but it would allow me to provide failover ability to fifty domains without having to purchase the extra domains at DNSMadeEasy.
Webmin ...
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just bought a VPS with [url], and they only offer cPanel (of which costs extra money per month). so I decided to install Webmin, which I have never used before.
how I set up my DNS servers in Webmin? I'm completely lost here.
with webmin can I use it to add FTP users to say pure ftpd? and does it work with lighttpd? If I'm thinking about it right webmin just allows us to control the service and modify the configuration files right?
View 1 Replies View Relatedwe have problem with webmin and iptables
we must STOP iptables service to work webmin !
also when iptables running seems apache goes down we must STOP iptable service to work apache.
I want to use whmcs with webmin as its a free utility. though i am not getting how to setup a cron job and email piping on the same. I have tried using php -q /var/www/pipe/pipe.php in my scheduled cron jobs in webmin. But it everytime results in an error. Also i have tried using /usr/local/bin/php -q /var/www/whmcs/pipe/pipe.php . But still shows error.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI started using some dedicated server and I have Webmin as control panel. There is also Apache that I turned on and it worked.
But since I didn't find anything to access server via ftp, I searched on net and understood that I need to install some module for it on Webmin.
In list of inactive modules I found Proftpd and install it. And then I made problem: somewhere in Webmin where is administration of users I edited user "ftp" since when logging I went to directory /var/ftp and I wanted to go to /var/www/html.
But when I changed accessing directory from /var/ftp to /var/www/html it didn't work so I again moved to /var/ftp. After that I again couldn't access but noticed in file manager under Webmin that content of /var/www was moved to /var/ftp and previous content of /var/ftp disappeared. I created new directory www in /var and copied in file manager content from /var/ftp but again when access from public address I receive error 403 forbidden. I rebooted system but again same.
Webmin
View 4 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased a VPS and was wondering which control panel I should ask my provider to install. Both are free, but I was wondering which one you guys preferred?
Also, which one uses less system resources (like RAM, etc)?
i ordered a server today from serverbeach,
I have changed my nameservers at the domain registrar but when using the serverbeach DNS tool to use the serverbeach DNS service , its asks me for the IP of my domainname.
How do I find in webmin the IP address of the domain to be entered
I'm planning to operate my own dedicated server and bad news is I'm not much of a technical person. A friend recommends that I can use free Webmin as a front end (control panel) rather than paying for others. Do you think Webmin is suitable for newbie on this front?
View 6 Replies View Relatedmy VPS with Steadcom has been running for about six months now and for the most part I'm very pleased.
I'm not all that skilled at running it yet, still learning.
First, My email was being blocked by some recipients, I am using sendmail. So I had to change the hostname and the hosts file, and the network file to my domain name, instead of the hostname Steadcom gave me. This fixed the email and it seems receipients are okay with the new settings.
However, whenever I restart the VPS, these files and the hostname get reset. How can I make it so these are not changed... is this something I have to bring up with Steadcom or is it a setting I'm not getting quite right?
Second... my webmin seems to have problems. I can log in, but then sometimes I cannot navigate to the areas I need to, as I'll get a page not found error. I have been stopping and restarting webmin, and that sometimes helps, but sometimes not and I have to restart the whole server. Which I really don't want to do just for webmin. I don't really know webmin that well, either, so would love some help on what I can do about this.
Third.. when I have SSH running I often get Brute Force warnings for a bot or someone trying to log in. So I just stop the service all together. But when I restart, it starts up again. How can I keep SSH from starting unless I need it?
if its possible to use usermin and webmin for simple vps hosting ? Or can anyone recommend free or cheap panel for my linux vps.
