nameservers, public domain

Hi!

I've spent about 2 weeks going through the forum trying to figure out what's going on. I was registering some domains with LCN.com, but tried another one with godaddy so I could follow the tutorial, but still having trouble. I've followed the perfect server (centos 5.5) twice now on each server too.

This is my setup:

• Two home servers with Centos 5.5, ispconfig 3, and their own external ip addresses. Server 1 was to be used as nameserver 1, and server 2 as nameserver 2.
• Web domain from godaddy

I've done the following:

• Set up glue records at godaddy (ns1 and ns2) to the ip addresses of the servers.
• Set up the nameservers as these records.
• Looking at www.intodns.com these seem to have registered ok at godaddy. Also looking at whois.domaintools.com the correct nameservers are listed.
• I set up primary DNS in ispconfig on the 1st server, and secondard in the second server.
• I added A records for ns1 and ns2 on the primary server.
• Also setup a website in ispconfig.

The problem:

• I can access my server with the external IP addresses, but not the domain name.
• www.intodns.com shows "ERROR: One or more of your nameservers did not respond:
  The ones that did not responded are: ..."
• I've checked dig on localhost and got this:
  
  dig @localhost any mydomain.com
  
  ; <<>> DiG 9.3.6-P1-RedHat-9.3.6-4.P1.el5_5.3 <<>> @localhost any mydomain.com
  ; (1 server found)
  ;; global options: printcmd
  ;; Got answer:
  ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 23589

  Which I think is not good...

Could anyone please send me in the right direction of what to do next? I'm stuck. Many thanks,

Ted.

 

Hi Till,

Many thanks for a response. I used the wizard to add the DNS details, and then added the ns1 and ns2 afterwards like in a tutorial I found.

Here are the images, I've blanked out the personal details (not sure if this was necessary, but seen other people do it...)

 

Hi,

The jobqueue is empty, as is the sys-log... The system overview shows

Server: server1 (Redhat Unknown)
ISPConfig 3.0.3.1
State: ok (0 unknown, 0 info, 0 warning, 0 critical, 0 error)
ok:
The state of your Hard-Disk space is ok
Your virus protection is ok
Your Mail queue load is ok
Your RAID is ok
Your Server load is ok
All needed services are online
The System Log is O.K.​

The status of services shows everything online. I've restarted the named service at the command prompt and it showdown and started again ok.

[root@server1 ~]# /etc/init.d/named restart
Stopping named: [ OK ]
Starting named: [ OK ]​

Thanks very much for your help...

Ted
