how to bind / setup your domain on CentOS?

 

[DLow]

Do you not have a control panel ?

 

[sloddl]

nope. only a remote console.

 

[sloddl]

ns1.tastro.org is working but tastro.org in not :S

 

[sloddl]

or can it be that the namecheap didn't update the nameservers yet? but i updated them there already yesterday. :S

sry for the 3 posts. :S

dude, looks like your domain doesn't have any 'A' Records

Suggestions ..

• use namecheap dns or any other DNS service of your choice.
• create 'A' record with the IP of your server for www.tastro.com, tastro.com and even you can use wild card *.tastro.com .

or you can even host you own name servers by installing and configuring BIND/ etc...


HTH..

 

[sloddl]

how can i create an A record? :>

i will google it but anyways... if you got a quick guide then reply please.

thank you, tastro

 

[desiboy]

here's a quick guide..

Click Transfer DNS back to US

Next
ALL Host records

Next

replace with your IP

 

[sloddl]

i had it configured the first 2 fields... but i didn't have the sub-domain field ( on this picture the 3rd field. )

thank you very much mate! i hope that this will work.

 

[sloddl]

btw... after i configured this, should i transfer the domain back to my nameservers?

i mean after i clicked on "Transfer DNS To NameCheap Default DNS" should i let the DNS at namecheaps dns or should i transfer it back to mine?

Restarted Apache?

Why not install Kloxo, it's free and pretty easy to use?

 

[sloddl]

i restarted already... but still the same. i use lighttpd instead of apache.

why not Kloxo? because it eats up too much memory...

i installed lighttpd, php and the vsftpd server and that's all i need.

now i just have to make my domain work and that's it.

 

[desiboy]

you have not added 'A' records

http://warezbot.net/tools/records.php?domain=tastro.org

 

[sloddl]

can it be that namecheap hasn't updated it yet?

 

[desiboy]

^^ I think you have not added A records..
dns resoultion is almost in real time these days .

 

[sloddl]

i got this already:

Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[host] => tastro.org
[type] => A
[ip] => 94.102.60.219
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 323
)

[1] => Array
(
[host] => tastro.org
[type] => NS
[target] => dns1.registrar-servers.com
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 84923
)

[2] => Array
(
[host] => tastro.org
[type] => NS
[target] => dns2.registrar-servers.com
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 84923
)

[3] => Array
(
[host] => tastro.org
[type] => NS
[target] => dns3.registrar-servers.com
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 84923
)

[4] => Array
(
[host] => tastro.org
[type] => NS
[target] => dns4.registrar-servers.com
[class] => IN
[ttl] => 84923
)

)

but then i transfered the dns back to my server... because the tastro.org domain was still offline. :S

is it importat where i have / use the dns server? is it better if my dns server is at namecheap or at my VPS server?

 

[sloddl]

was the information above ok? should i go back to that confguration?

 

[desiboy]

dude, you should at-least have some basic understanding of DNS or you should try some managed services ..

This settings should work well..
revert back to the settings which gave you this results..it will work fine ..

there's nothing wrong in using namecheap DNS services.
if you need ns1.yourdomain.com , etc
you have yo install BIND . etc ..and then you have to put the Host records..which makes the process more tedious..

 

[sloddl]

ok check now:

http://warezbot.net/tools/records.php?domain=tastro.org

but http://tastro.org/ is still offline. ns1.tastro.org is working just fine. :S

now i think that i have what you told me to do right? what's next? :>
