Hi all, I am a litle bit dased here. I have my site running on ispconfig for more than town months now. I have been out town only for me return and find out find out that my site is completely down. I cannot not even ping the site. The most annoying aspect is another site that I hosted and deleted a longtime ago is showing on my browser and its even pingable. Please can any one help is urgent and is a production site.
If the site is not pingable and the server is defiantely started you have most likely a problem with your dns records. Check the dns records of the domain with e.g. dig.
Hi, Thanks for the reply. It certainly is a DNS problem. The funny thing is If a use a proxy I am able to connect to the site. but browsing directly from my system it comes up with server not found message. Please can u throw more light on how I can use dig to check the dns record of my domain.
Hi, I did google the dig server and was able to use it to heck the dns for my domain, this was the result I got. ; <<>> DiG 9.3.2 <<>> @waltersmithng.com waltersmithng.com A ; (1 server found) ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 52810 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;waltersmithng.com.

Hi, I'am able to reach the site and it seems to work fine. So there must be a problem with your local computer. Please check that you do not have a record for this domain in the local hosts file of the computer.
