Alright everyone I am a complete newbie to the Linux server and Linux in general. I used the http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p3 manual for my install and my box is up and running BUT... I can not figure out how to get my name servers to work? I have used a how to tutorial here http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy but I think I am missing something???? I have port 22,53 and 80 open in my router. I read somewhere that I need a glue file because both my name servers point to the same IP? but don't see an option in go daddy. I think I'm confusing myself more and more every day. I do have a dynamic IP Address from my ISP and if I get this up and running I plan to upgrade to there business plan but I want to be sure I can get everything working before I upgrade. I have checked the ports and 22,53 and 80 are verified open, my server responded to a ping. What am I missing I've done 5 days of research and still am confused? I'm pretty sure I'm just missing understanding something? Please Help! Thanks
Hi As you stated. Please refer the URL, they will help in glue record. https://www.zerigo.com/docs/managed-dns/glue_records_at_godaddy http://www.webhostingbuzz.com/wiki/how-add-glue-records/ Br// Srijan
test your local dns server like this: dig @localhost domain.tld just replace domain.tld with your own domain name and run the command on the shell of your server.
