Custom Name Servers

Hi,

I have some questions on Name Servers (DNS)

1. Do I need 2 servers to set up name servers like ns1.mydomain.com * ns2.mydomain.com?

2. Can I use the same name server mentioned above as Webserver & Mail Server

3. Any latest thread for setting up DNS similar http://www.howtoforge.com/ispconfig_dns_godaddy

Please advice

Thanks

 

Some registrars require you to have nameservers on different IP addresses, and the sense of having at least two nameservers is redundancy in case of a problem, so you *should' have two nameservers. But technically it's possible to use just one.

Yes.

Dear Sir,

Thank you so much for your help & I also found the same thread & followed to set up with 2 VPS http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ru...and-secondary-with-ispconfig-3-debian-squeeze.

I am facing problem on the Second Server configuration,

Select language (en,de) [en]: <-- ENTER

Installation mode (standard,expert) [standard]: <-- expert

Full qualified hostname (FQDN) of the server, eg server1.domain.tld [server2.example.com]: <-- ENTER

MySQL server hostname [localhost]: <-- ENTER

MySQL root username [root]: <-- ENTER

MySQL root password []: <-- yourrootsqlpassword

MySQL database to create [dbispconfig]: <-- ENTER

MySQL charset [utf8]: <-- ENTER

Then I get message

The next two questions are about the internal ISPConfig database user and password.It is recommended to accept the defaults which are 'ispconfig' as username and a random password.
If you use a different password, use only numbers and chars for the password.

ISPConfig mysql database username [ispconfig]:<Enter

ISPConfig mysql database password [350d6a9505a28afec6476d2c5bbd265d]: <Enter

Shall this server join an existing ISPConfig multiserver setup (y,n) [n]: y

MySQL master server hostname []: ns1.example.com

MySQL master server root username [root]:<Enter

MySQL master server root password []: My Server1 MySql Root Pwd

MySQL master server database name [dbispconfig]:<Enter

Unable to connect to mysql server

MySQL master server hostname []:


Please advice

Thanks & regards,

Sir,

Please ignore my last message, I am able to configure 2nd server & have followed instructions as per link http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ru...and-secondary-with-ispconfig-3-debian-squeeze as well as ISpconfig Manual.

Now My present set up is as under

Server 1: ns1.mydomain.com >>> Web.Mail, ftp & DNS 1
Server 2: ns2.mydomain.com >>> ONLY DNS 2

I have mydomain.com registered with Blue host & have set custom Name servers as
ns1.mydomain.com with IP xx.xxx.xxx.11
ns2.mydomain.com with IP xx.xxx.xxx.22

My another domain "myweb.com" which is registered with Godaddy & have set Name servers as ns1.mydomain.com ns2.mydomain.com

I have added "myweb.com" under websites on server 1 & can access the same in my web browser whereas "mydomain.com" is also added under websites on server 1 but can not access "mydomain.com"

I also ran DNS wizard & have Two DNS Zones & settings are as under

Zone 1

A mydomain.com. xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
A mail xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
A www xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
MX mydomain.com. mail.mydomain.com. 10
NS mydomain.com. ns1.mydomain.com. 0
NS mydomain.com. ns2.mydomain.com. 0

Zone 2(SOA) - myweb.com

A myweb.com. xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
A mail xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
A www xx.xxx.xxx.11 0
MX myweb.com. mail.myweb.com. 10
NS myweb.com. ns1.mydomain.com. 0
NS myweb.com. ns2.mydomain.com. 0

Further, if I run from SSH from another server dig @mydomain.com any myweb.com then I get an error "dig: couldn't get address for 'ns1.mydomain.com': not found

mxtoolbox.com, I can get results for DNS for myweb.com & not for mydomain.com

Your help / guidance would really be highly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

Abin

Sir,

Thank you for your reply.

I have added 2 A records manually as

DNS Zone > A record>

Hostname : ns1.mydomain.com.
IP : xx.xxx.xxx.11

Hostname : ns2.mydomain.com.
IP : xx.xxx.xxx.22

After that, I can access site www.mydomain.com

Further, please confirm if I have to add Server 2 IP A record for NS2.mydomain.com in DNS zone of Server 1

Thanks & regards,

Abin

Dear Si,

Thank you very much for your advice & it is really helpful to setup my servers with name servers like ns1.mydomain.com & ns2.mydomain.com.

I have one more questions on DNS, My System>Server Config looks like as under;

IP Address:xx.xxx.xxx.11
Netmask : 255.255.255.0
Gateway: xx.xxx.xxx.1 ( this address I collected vi /etc/network/interfaces)
Hostname :ns1.mydomain.com
Nameservers: 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.2 ( These are by default)

If I run vi /etc/resolv.conf then my hosting data centre's are
xx.xxx.xxx.33
xx.xxx.xxx.44

Sir, my question is should I replace Name servers from 192.168.0.1 , 192.168.0.2 to xx.xxx.xxx.11 & xx.xxx.xxx.22 or xx.xxx.xxx.33
xx.xxx.xxx.44

Please advice

many thanks & regards,

Abin

Sir,

Refer to post # 3 of this thread, I am trying to set up my final Multi-setup to go live but I am not able to install ISpconfig3 on Slave server(my set up is on 2 servers, I have very carefully followed all the installation steps,

I get an error "Unable to connect to mysql server" while on slave server on ispconfig installation


I made only one change on Master Installation is of ISpconfig default port 8080 to 50

Do you think, the port change makes a difference?

Please advice

Thanks & regards,

Abin

Dear Sir,

Now, I am able to connect to Master server & have also changed port 8080 from 50,

Since My Master server has 2 Ips & Slave has only one. I added to
Master as well as Slave server in vi/etc/hosts

xx.xxx.xxx.33 virtual-ip1.mydomain.com,

Upon removal of this line, I am able to connect to Master server from Slave

Further, my # Master Server vi /etc/network/interfaces looks like

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address xx.xxx.xxx.11
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xxx.xxx.0
broadcast xx.xxx.xxx.255
gateway xx.xxx.xxx.1

auto eth0:0
iface eth0:0 inet static

address xx.xxx.xxx.33
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xxx.xxx.0
broadcast xx.xxx.xxx.255
gateway xx.xxx.xxx.1

# Slave Server vi/etc/network/interfaces

# The primary network interface
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static

address xx.xxx.xxx.22
netmask 255.255.255.0
network xx.xxx.xxx.0
broadcast xx.xxx.xxx.255
gateway xx.xxx.xxx.1

Please advice on following questions;

1. Can I use port 50 instead of default 8080 of ispconfig under multi server setup?

2. Do I need to add xx.xxx.xxx.33 virtual-ip1.mydomain.com on both Master as well as Slave ( vi/etc/hosts)?

3. In Multi setup under vi/etc/hosts, does the line xx.xxx.xxx.11 ns1.mydomain.com OK or should it be xx.xxx.xxx.11 ns1.mydomain.com ns1

4. Was the problem "unable to connect" because I did not add eth0:0 under system>Server ip address in ispconfig admin panel

On hearing I would redo my set up with a fresh install so that later I do not have issues with my set up

Thanks and regards,

Abin
