local virtual domain not resolving

[sumwoman]

greetings,

Successful install according to Perfect Server Debian Squeeze ISPConfig 3
I got as far as setting up a local virtual domain, connected to a database, and got the default welcome page with colored background. I came back later but the local virtual domain was no longer resolving.

Default web page for server http://ns1.vanhost.local is resolving. I can see "It works!".
ISPconfig is working fine.

I've got port forwarding on the router set to the correct local ip address.

What files should I be looking at to resolve the problem? Thanks.

Do you use * or a specific IP for this website in the ISPConfig settings?

Did you use the correct domain in your browser?

The exact same setup on another server is working perfectly.

I can't figure out the error.
Ispconfig is working
phpmyadmin is working

Thanks for your time.

Hi there again,

I re-installed server according to Perfect Setup debian ispconfig

Everything worked fine. I used ispconfig to set up client, dns, website, database plus user, and ftp user.
All of it was accessible and working.

This morning, I restarted the computer but the local website is not resolving. Everything else is fine.

I guess, some file is automatically updated after reboot and it is giving trouble somewhere at name resolution time.

But this is not happening on the other computer which is has same software setup.

What could be the issue?

Thanks for your time.

Please check /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts.

Hi there again

When I place the third line in the /etc/hosts file
127.0.0.1 local.localdomain localhost
192.168.0.106 serv1.vanhost.local serv1
192.168.0.106 www.visionboard.local serv1

####
The local website resolves.
NOTE: During the last re-install, computer and ip number changed a bit.

But I don't have to add anything to /etc/hosts file > in the other computer set up exactly the same way.

var/sys/log had many entries like this
named[1417]: error (network unreachable) resolving ....

What could be the problem?

Thanks for you time.
