myDNS Template Bug

[astewart]

I tried manually creating a Zone, then added the proper records but it doesn't seem to work properly. When you create a manual Zone, there is only one 'NS' field so you cannot add a second NS to that Zone.

So i went about and noticed that when you create a DNS Template, you have 2 fields for the NS. Once I add the Template, then fill it out through the 'Wizard', it will not add or save the new DNS Zone. I click on 'Create DNS Record' but it just sits there and doesn't even load.

Is there away I can manually add a secondary NS when creating a manual Zone? Or any other way around this?

(Running the latest SVN for ISPCONFIG 3).

Any ideas or anyone else experiencing this issue?

You mix up the ns field with the ns records of the domain. The nameservers of a domain have to be added as ns records. Create a domain with the wizard and take a look at the records that were added for this domain to see a full example.

The DNS wizrad has no known bugs, I just tested it. If you created your own template and this does not work then there is most likely a typo in your template syntax. try to use the default template delivered with ispconfig.

I have manually set up a Zone and added the proper records as follows:






It doesn't seem to be working properly though.

Here is what it looks like when I 'dig' the domain:

; <<>> DiG 9.4.2-P2 <<>> ps3edition.com

Here is my NSLOOKUP for the domain:

User@Server:~# nslookup ps3edition.com
Server: 192.168.2.1
Address: 192.168.2.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find ps3edition.com: No answer

What am I suppose to have in my resolv.conf?
Should I be using my Servers internal IP for the A Record?
Any ideas what might be going on?

You missed to add the dot at the end of the records.

Till. I think we should get somekind of validation script for this.
If no dot is added, add the dot automaticaly.

We can not add a dot automatically as records without dot are valid as well.

For example, the following A records give the same result:

mail

and

mail.domain.com.

Thanks for the help guys.
I apologize for my ignorance with setting up the DNS. I have a very knowledge of everything else but the DNS, this is the first time I am actually trying to get it working.

I have added the dots '.' to the end of each record but still no difference.
Question, after making the changes in ISPCONFIG, I shouldn't have to wait 24 - 48 hours right?

Here is what I currently have:


The NSLOOKUP is still giving me this error for ps3edition.com:

user@server:~# nslookup ps3edition.com
Server:		192.168.2.1
Address:	192.168.2.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
*** Can't find ps3edition.com: No answer

Funny this is that when I do an NSLOOKUP for www.ps3edition.com, it appears to be correct:

user@serverr:~# nslookup www.ps3edition.com
Server:		192.168.2.1
Address:	192.168.2.1#53

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:	www.ps3edition.com
Address: 24.222.43.170

Oh, to add, I get an Answer when I dig www.ps3edition.com but not when I dig pd3edition.com.


Any ideas why?

Can you access www.ps3edition.com?
(I'm within the network so I cannot tell at the moment)

If you use nslookup like you did to query the dns server you might have to wait 24 hours. If you want to test your server right now you will have to run:

dig @localhost www.ps3edition.com

i ques that confuse here is bit more lowlevel what it seems at first.
from firs post i see Ispconfig's hostname is ubuntuServer.isometric.com, but all references to nameserver points to *.iwebsource.net.

could it be that *.iwebsource.net-servers are your service providers nameservers?
if so, you are trying to control nameservers that are not yours. obviously it is not going to work.

if you have access to somekind of control panel in iwebsource.net or in your domain registrant, you can handle dns from there and forget Ispconfig's dns-part.

or, start using ubuntuServer.isometric.com as NS, and instal another nameserver to somewhere. if you go this way, change domains nameservers from registrant to your ones.

[astewart]

ubuntuServer.isometric.com is the fully qualified Server name.
iWebsource would be the main Domain.

The DNS is now working properly, I just had to give it some time I guess to propagate.

Thanks for all your help guys.
