Dear users, I'm in a fresh installation of IspConfig 3 using the guide: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-s...hp-mysql-pureftpd-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-p4 Even if the DNS service is active, I still face "domain not resolving errors" whiile I set the NS1 and NS2 with the value setup in my VPS. I took one domain and I setup the DNS with the default values of the VPS already configured which is: NS1: vpsXXX.ovh.net NS2: sdns2.ovh.net I got this info with the command dig vpsXXX.ovh.net : Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu <<>> vpsXXX.ovh.net ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 23156 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;vpsXXX.ovh.net.

Then, for the last check, I've created a private name server in my Domain Name Provider and I created the Zone in IspConfig. I took another domain and I set up the NS as configured in IspConfig. Result, nothing. In all of these 3 cases the DNS doesn't work and I really don't know why. Do you have any clue for how to solve it? Maybe I miss something? Thanks you very much for you help, is very appreciated! Best
First, if you want to test if your dns zone is working, then use this command: dig @loclahost yourdomain.tld without the @localhost, you are not querying your local dns server. If the above command does not work, then your dns zone is most likely not complete so that bind did not load it. the most common error i that the a-records for the ns records are missing.
Hi Till, thanks for the interest.

UPDATE: the result I get in the previous reply it's because I added a new DNS ZONE through ISPconfig. After deleting it the result dig @localhost vpsXXX.ovh.net of is: Code: ; <<>> DiG 9.9.5-3-Ubuntu <<>> @localhost vpsXXX.ovh.net ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 49941 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 10, ADDITIONAL: 21 ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION: ; EDNS: version: 0, flags:; udp: 4096 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;vpsXXX.ovh.net.

Thanks
vpsxxxx.ovh.net is not your domain, at least if you are not the owner of the company OVH. vpsxxxx.ovh.net is the hostname of your server, it is managed by ovh in their nameservers. So the name is not related to the dns setup of your server or the ispconfig installation at all.
Hi Till, I've to understand which value should I add in the NS1 and NS2 of mydomain.com thought the control panel of the domain provider. Could you help me to figure out how to understand which value to add there based on the info I've provided in this thread? Please let me know if I'm missing something, Thank you really much!
For dns, you normally need 2 servers, one for the ns1 and one for the ns2. If you have just one server, then it might work as well, but this depends on your domain registry. If the domain name ise.g. domain.tld and you want to host it on your own server, then the nameservers are ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tld. So you have to create a dns zone in ispconfig for domain.tld with the nameservers ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tld and ensure that you add a-records for ns1 and ns2 as well that point to the ip address of your server. Then you test this zone with dig, like I explained above. If that works, then you go to your domain registry and change the nameservers there to ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tld and ensure that you enter the IP address for both nameservers there as well as the domain registry has to create glue records for the namserver records and therefor it needs to know the IP address as well.
Hi Till, perfect explanation! I did it and it works partially, means that for domain.tls i've created ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tld in ISPconfig and when I pointed the dns from the domain provider everything works. But if i point NEWdomain.tld to ns1.domain.tld and ns2.domain.tld to , then it's not resolving. What can be the reason?
