Your server is unable to resolve the IP addresses for domain names.

Please check your /etc/resolv.conf if the nameservers listed there are working and reachable from your server.

Till,
thanks for your reply.
Apt-get works already now.

One more question:
In ISPConfig > Management > Server > Settings > DNS,
i have to mention two DNS-servers:
Default Ns1: ?
Default Ns2: ?

Which DNS-servers have i have to mentioned here,
the IP-address of my own server, which runs Bind9 or
the DNS-resolvers provided by the network of the colocation?

These DNS Servers where used as defaults in the ISPConfig DNS-Manager. So you should enter the domain of your server as ns1 and the domain of the secondary server that you want to use as ns2.

hello,

I had the same issue as above, I do not know why but my /etc/resolv.conf contained also this line: nameserver localhost ...

I tok it out and its all working again.
Anyone has got any clue as to how that line came to be there? the only change I made was to tell my bind configuration: Do full recursive lookups for clients? NO as I did not want an open DNS server. could that have been the reason?

It must have been there already.
