ISPconfig 3 DNS problems
 

Hi at all.

Maybe I'm only one of the many noobs that is coming here in HoWToForge asking for the DNS problem. But I manager for 2 years a DirectAdmin server and never had problems, so I think maybe I'm missing something.

I'm using Debian 6 default OVH distribution for ISPconfig 3 on a Kimsufi.

Correct me if I'm wrong. There are 2 ways to setup DNS:

• by using the domain DNS server: just point record A and MX to the Ip address of the server. It worked, but instead of opening the site website it open the main site page (http://ks3281171.kimsufi.com).
• by setting up the internal server DNS bind service: i followed this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_...domain_schlund

PS: I'm trying to set a first domain called www.ver1tas.it. The problem is that ISPconfig is not loading my site uploaded by FTP!

Every site must have a name server at registrar. So , if your IP is XX.XY.XC.XXD create a A record as ns with that IP in your DNS Zone, and also at TLD (in my case RO TLD) make sure that yourdomain.net point to ns.yourdomain.net - doesn't matter if are the same IP's.

If you create with wizard the zone must look look that
Example
A yourdomain.ro. 86.xxx.xxx.147 0
A mail 86.xxx.xxx.147 0
A ns 86.xxx.xxx.147 0
A www 86.xxx.xxx.147 0
MX yourdomain.ro. mail.yourdomain.ro. 10
NS yourdomain.ro. ns.yourdomain.ro. 0

I found no problem with setting up DNS, with the method 1 (using domain provided DNS server) and method 2 (using internal server DNS). The problem is that ISPconfig is actually loading the main site page instead of the website uploaded by FTP.
Can't figure out WHY. Maybe vhosts problems?

It didn't create my VirtualHosts... just one of 3 domains.

PS: opened etc/apache2/httpd.conf and it's empty OMG

That is your problem.....vhosts.

Actually httpd.conf is empty, i've checked my file. Do you have sites created in sites-available and sites-enabled?

httpd.conf it's empty
That's insane, because it is the default Debian6 distro for ISPconfig by OVH.

How to re-create it?

Yes, they are all here.

You are behind a firewall? If so, if you have a rule that point to an IP is no good.

My rule is like in the attachment.

PROTO -> tcp
SOURCE -> *
PORT -> *
DESTINATION -> *
PORT -> 80
GATEWAY -> *

The only firewall I have at the moment is the firewall integrated into ISPconfig, and I have a rule that opens the ports needed.

I just tried to re-create the domain, it seems to work... still can't understand how. I'll let you know in some days.

I've tried to check your record www.ver1tas.it at http://mxtoolbox.com and make a dns lookup and reported nothing.

Are you sure that you've set corect ns/zone for you site?

smtp:ver1tas.it

No A records exist for ver1tas.it.
