linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – I'm new to server management and wanted some advice on how to do it. Here is what I did so far: On the registrar of our domain name I setted the Rackspaces' nameservers (dns1.stabletransit.com & dns2.stabletransit.com) On the server's Linux, I created a virtual host to link the domain name with the right folder (It works). In the Rackspace admin interface, I added the new domain like this: Name Content Domain Name TTL (Seconds) Type *.<the domain name> <the instance IP> <the domain name> 300 A <th (HowTos)

DNS setup on Centos 6 VPS 10 weeks 1 day ago

I have a domain registered through namecheap.com, and I have 2 nameservers for my domain (ns1, ns2.domain.com). Both nameservers are being pointed to my VPS IP address. I can access my VPS fine through IP, but not my domain. I am using webmin 1.6, and have my master zone all setup. Here is the records file:

; domain.com $TTL 3600 domain.com. IN SOA a.root-servers.net. email@msn.com.

i have a domain www.mydomain.com. it is hosted in apache.

when i hit this domain, it takes me to apache default page.

All of the names currently point to the same web server folder which is correct. That is, the domain.net, domain.org, etc all work without redirecting to the main .com

How do I get visits to the .org and .net to redirect the browser to domain.com?

This should be basic, but I am can't figure out the best approach.

Here's a quick summary of the environment I support: we have a domain (domain A) that has about 20 client computers. The domain server for this domain and all the clients sit within the network infrastructure of a larger domain (domain B). All the computers get their network settings via DHCP from domain B's servers.

DNS for a subdomain 45 weeks 1 day ago

I have: - two DNS servers: 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2 - domain name: domain.com pointed to 1.1.1.1

I want to point sub domain: sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2 (obviously www.sub.domain.com too)

on 1.1.1.1 I've create a DNS A record pointing sub.domain.com to 2.2.2.2

accessing sub.domain.com now lead to 2.2.2.2 successfully

the problem is the DNS records on 2.2.2.2 such as CNAME www do not work means access

Sub Domain Setup fails 36 weeks 3 days ago

I want to add the Sub Domain to a working Domain so it becomes test.domain.co.uk. From Cpanel, I have set up the Sub Domain and it created the folder /public_html/test I set up an DNS A record for test.domain.co.uk as well, although I am not sure if this is needed?

Viewing "http://www.domain.co.uk/test" works, but "test.domain.co.uk" results in the error "Firefox ca

I have a client that has registered their domain through a registrar, then signed up for hosting on through a different provider, but used the same domain for said provider (didn't re-register the domain, I think the declaration of domain on the host was for CNAME records specifically).

name server versus domain name 37 weeks 3 days ago

I have a VPS running Centos 5.8 and Webmin. I came with 2 IP numbers.

I need to create a domain name and name servers.

My domain registrar needs a name server (eg: ns1.domain.com.) to created a domain name. And webmin demands a domain name to create the name servers from??? catch 22?

I understand what a name server does. But how to create the one without the other?

This is a bit of a weird one. I'm running ubuntu on a Windows domain. If I type "ping server" I can ping correctly and I can connect without any problems. It looks up my search domain (domain.local) and everything is hunky dory.

Problem is when I try to ping server.domain.local.
