DNS records not saving correctly.

    Everytime i make a dns record it puts peroids after the domain and replaces @ with peroids. and its making the dns records invalid. This is a fresh install.
    Also have a new issue. I can dig locally but if i try to dig on an external server i get servefails. This is a dedicated live front facing ip. There isnt any ports being blocked at all.

    Also did an external port scan and returned this.

    XXX.XXX.XXX.XX5 is responding on port 53 (domain).

    The dns records are saved correctly, the problem is that you enterd the records wrong. All fully qualified domain name in dns for BIND has to end with a dot and @ is no dns record. If a dns record has no dot at the end, then it is a subbrecord of the zone. And what you refer to as @ record is the record for the zone itself, so if you create a zone for domain.tld, then the record that you refer to as @ is "domain.tld.".

    Either you block the dns port with a firewall or the dns records in the registry of the domain tld has not been changed yet to point to the new dns server.

    Ive done the dig using the new nameserver to dig from and it doesnt work. Also i'm talking about entering the email address on the template page example: you enter [email protected] and the form saves it as test.test.com I also edited my first post saying i did a external port scan and its open.

    Retrieving DNS records for abc123.com...
    DNS servers
    ns1.abc123.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    ns2.abc123.com [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    DNS server returned an error: Name server failed

    Answer records

    Authority records

    Additional records


    That was done using http://network-tools.com/

    Then your dns is blocked b a firewall or you configured bins to listen only on localhost.

    Thats absolutely correct as mail addresses in dns records are saved in this way and ispconfig corrects your wrong input automatically. You might want to read a bit more about BIND dns file format before complaining that ispconfig handles this wrong.

    I wasn't attacking.. i just thought it would save the way it was entered. I apologize.

    Still the port scan is saying that its there also like you suggested i researched how bind works.

    "listen-on — Specifies the network interface on which named listens for queries. By default, all interfaces are used. "

    Everything is default. Unless ISPconfig changes that. I followed the guide on this website to the T.

    The defaults depend on the Linux distribution you used and presets that might have been done by your internet provider, ispconfig does not set defaults for bind. To see if bind is listening on the correct interfaces, post the output of:

    netstat -tap | grep named

    and the output of:

    iptables -L

    Also noted..

    ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6 < if i use the ip of the server.

    Not sure if that matters or not.

    Thats both ok.

    Please take alook into the syslog file in /var/log, are there any bind errors in there.

    According to your post above, you use a subdomain of the same zone as dns server name. This requires that you add glue records in the dns server of your provider were you registered the domain (not your ispconfig server). Have you added these glue records?

    You missed to add A-Records in the zone for ns1 and ns2 subrecords.

    Add the records:

    Type: A
    Hostname: ns1
    IP address: 1.2.3.4
    Active: yes

    and

    Type: A
    Hostname: ns2
    IP address: 1.2.3.4
    Active: yes
