Hi at all. Maybe I'm only one of the many noobs that is coming here in HoWToForge asking for the DNS problem. But I manager for 2 years a DirectAdmin server and never had problems, so I think maybe I'm missing something. I'm using Debian 6 default OVH distribution for ISPconfig 3 on a Kimsufi. Correct me if I'm wrong. There are 2 ways to setup DNS: by using the domain DNS server: just point record A and MX to the Ip address of the server. It worked, but instead of opening the site website it open the main site page (http://ks3281171.kimsufi.com). by setting up the internal server DNS bind service: i followed this guide http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_providerdomain_schlund PS: I'm trying to set a first domain called www.ver1tas.it. The problem is that ISPconfig is not loading my site uploaded by FTP!
Every site must have a name server at registrar. So , if your IP is XX.XY.XC.XXD create a A record as ns with that IP in your DNS Zone, and also at TLD (in my case RO TLD) make sure that yourdomain.net point to ns.yourdomain.net - doesn't matter if are the same IP's. If you create with wizard the zone must look look that Example A yourdomain.ro. 86.xxx.xxx.147 0 A mail 86.xxx.xxx.147 0 A ns 86.xxx.xxx.147 0 A www 86.xxx.xxx.147 0 MX yourdomain.ro. mail.yourdomain.ro. 10 NS yourdomain.ro. ns.yourdomain.ro. 0
I found no problem with setting up DNS, with the method 1 (using domain provided DNS server) and method 2 (using internal server DNS). The problem is that ISPconfig is actually loading the main site page instead of the website uploaded by FTP. Can't figure out WHY. Maybe vhosts problems?
It didn't create my VirtualHosts... just one of 3 domains. PS: opened etc/apache2/httpd.conf and it's empty OMG
That is your problem.....vhosts. Actually httpd.conf is empty, i've checked my file. Do you have sites created in sites-available and sites-enabled?
httpd.conf it's empty That's insane, because it is the default Debian6 distro for ISPconfig by OVH. How to re-create it?
You are behind a firewall? If so, if you have a rule that point to an IP is no good. My rule is like in the attachment. PROTO -> tcp SOURCE -> * PORT -> * DESTINATION -> * PORT -> 80 GATEWAY -> *
The only firewall I have at the moment is the firewall integrated into ISPconfig, and I have a rule that opens the ports needed. I just tried to re-create the domain, it seems to work... still can't understand how. I'll let you know in some days.
I've tried to check your record www.ver1tas.it at http://mxtoolbox.com and make a dns lookup and reported nothing. Are you sure that you've set corect ns/zone for you site? ------------------- smtp:ver1tas.it smtp No A records exist for ver1tas.it.

The problem is that my domain register (aruba.it) will take 24/48h just to change the nameserver from their ones to my ones. Seems like it's not automatic, but manually done by a person: that's the point. Try to set your PC DNS to 5.39.95.9 213.186.33.199 and open www.ver1tas.it. It works. I just need to wait Aruba.it DNS change.
When you open your website in ispconfig is the ip address set to * or a ip address? If it's set to * try change it to your ip address.
Still get the Virtual hosts problems. Can someone say me how to add the NameVirtualHost directive needed... and WHERE. Thanks.
Maybe that's the problem. I never looked into the server configuration of ISPconfig before. IP and gateway are good like this? I never seen this DNS, except of 127.0.0.1 that obviously point to the internal bind server. WTF is network configuration tickbox?
