Noob Apache or Bind9 Problem

[baralak]

Greetings,

I have installed ispconfig several times, but I have a new problem that I have never had... for some reason my domains will resolve to and open example.com it will resolve but will not open www.example.com.. I checked the dns and everything looks right there.
Thanks

Hello

Make sure that when setting up your dns master that you do it as follows:

Domain (SOA) = your domain name
IP Address = your external ip address

Options tab should have your name servers, mine show
ns1.mydomain.com
ns2.mydomain.com
which are also set up at my domain registrar

Records tab
click new (A record)
host name = blank
ip address = your external ip address

click new (A record)
host name = www
ip address = your external ip address

When you build a site

host name = www
domain = your domain
ip address = your internal ip address
tick box create dns

which should create a blank host name so you could access your site like so

http://yoursite.com

the first host name of www creates one so you could reach your site like

http://www.yoursite.com

Hope this helps
