Hi, I guess it might be a simple modification but I am lost here and need clarification on how to configure my DNS... I bought a domain name on OVH I installed IPSConfig (I think properly following the guide given) on Ubuntu 16.04 on a public cloud provided by OVH too. I have some issue with the DNS, especially for email (as I guess for the website, OVH is taking care of redirection) I can send an email to myself from roundcube console, it works I have run the test and here are the results: Code: ##### SERVER ##### IP-address (as per hostname): ***.***.***.*** IP-address(es) (as per ifconfig): ***.***.***.*** [WARN] ip addresses from hostname differ from ifconfig output. Please check your ip settings. [INFO] ISPConfig is installed. [WARN] /usr/local/ispconfig/server/lib/config.inc.php is missing. ##### VERSION CHECK ##### [INFO] php (cli) version is 7.0.22-0ubuntu***.***.***.*** ##### PORT CHECK ##### [WARN] Port 465 (SMTP server SSL) seems NOT to be listening ##### MAIL SERVER CHECK ##### [WARN] I found no "submission" entry in your postfix master.cf [INFO] this is not critical, but if you want to offer port 587 for smtp connections you have to enable this. [WARN] I found no "smtps" entry in your postfix master.cf [INFO] this is not critical, but if you want to offer SSL for smtp (not TLS) connections you have to enable this. ##### RUNNING SERVER PROCESSES ##### [WARN] I could not determine which web server is running. [WARN] I could not determine which mail server is running. [WARN] I could not determine which pop3 server is running. [WARN] I could not determine which imap server is running. [WARN] I could not determine which ftp server is running. If I run the command hostname alone, I have the results: serveur-1 (I am bit confused here) Could you please help. thanks in advance
When the NS records of a zone are pointing to a subdomain of the same zone, then this subdomain has to exist as A-Record as well. So you will have to add two A-Records. Personally, I would rename the NS records as well: 1) ensure that you have haveged installed and that it is started: sudo apt-get install haveged sudo service haveged start 2) Change 'ns2.amiel.cdbr.ovh.' to 'ns2.cdbr.ovh.' and do the same with the ns1 record. You have to make this change on the first tab and you have to change the two NS records. 3) Then add two A-Records, one for 'ns1' and one for 'ns2', both pointing to the IP address of your server. Then wait 2 minutes and test the dns zone with the following command on the shell of your server: dig @localhost cdbr.ovh
Thanks a lot but it does not seems to be working. maybe I should wait longer what shall I have on OVH (registar) side?
Maybe we should go a bit back, why do you want to run your own DNS server instead of using the one from OVH which is currently used for the domain? Running your own DNS server is not necessary to use other services like web and mail and DNS is an advanced topic, so I won't recommend running your own server when you start with hosting. Currently, the DNS servers of your domain are ns19.ovh.net and dns19.ovh.net, so DNS is hosted at OVH and not your server. If you don't have a really good reason, I won't change that if I were you when OVH provides DNS for you already.
All right, so you mean I do not touch the DNS tab on IPSConfig. I manage the DNS from OVH Console. So I deleted DNS data in ISPConfig. On OVH, I pointed domain and subdomain to my IP server... did not work Also add 2 MX entry to subdomain... did not work. However, I am able to send email to myself (it works from roundcube console but also from Thunderbird (subsomain written as server) I am really sorry, really new at this. If you know a good tutorial for it, I can have a look
Yes. According to intodns.com, the dns setup works fine for your domain at OVH and I'm able to resolve your IP address for the domain and www subdomain trough the OVH nameservers. So what exactly is not working? And be aware that changes in DNS might take 24 hours, so you can not add e.g. a subdomain in DNS and test it a minute later, you have to wait until the DNS changes have propagated to the caching nameservers.
Hi, I waited 24 hours, tried some new records but it is still not working. I am wandering if the confusion is not coming from /etc/hostname, /etc/hosts, /etc/mailname and /etc/postfix/main.cf for hosts, how shall it be written? with remote ip or localhost? Thanks
You still did not explain what exactly is not working and I can't help you if you don't describe the exact issue that you have 1) Which subdomain did you add that is not working? 2) Which exact error do you get?
Ok, but that's an email issue and you said you have a DNS problem with a new subdomain that you added. So there is no DNS problem, just your email from gmail does not arrive? Regarding mail problem, please post the content of the /etc/postfix/master.cf file of your server.
sorry, just continuing on the same thread; i can create a new one here is the content of the master.cf Code: # # Postfix master process configuration file.

You missed removing the # in front of the submission and smtps line. Remove the two # and restart postfix. That's not nescessary.
