Hi, I just finished installing ISPConfig 3 using the The Perfect Server - Fedora 15 [ISPConfig3] tutorial. But in the monitor at ISPConfig3, its showing 1 error - DNS server OFFLINE. How do I fix it?
So I have the following information: an IP address - that I used while setting up the webserver a subnet mask - that I used while setting up the webserver Default Gateway - that I used while setting up the webserver Pref DNS - that I used while setting up the webserver Alt DNS - that I used while setting up the webserver - I followed only the steps from The perfect server - fedora 15 [ISPConfig 3] tutorial. I am only a beginner at Unix and had never set up a server/website before. Setting up a DNS Zone asked for the following: Server - i guess i put the name of my server over here? Client - I have set up a client Domain - I dont know what to use here IP Address - I dont know what to use here NS 1 - I dont know what to use here NS 2 - I dont know what to use here
I was going through the forum when the DNS wasn't working as it was showing offline, and everywhere people were talking about myDNS. The Perfect Server - Fedora 15 [ISPConfig3] didn't have a myDNS section. Therefore, I followed the myDNS section of Fedora 10 [ISPConfig3], which is the following: 18 Install MyDNS We can install MyDNS as follows: wget http://mydns.bboy.net/download/mydns-mysql-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm rpm -ivh mydns-mysql-1.1.0-1.i386.rpm When the system boots, MyDNS must be started after MySQL. The MySQL startup link has the priority 64 on Fedora 10, so the MyDNS startup link must have a priority between 65 and 99. Therefore we open the MyDNS init script... vi /etc/init.d/mydns ... and change [...] # chkconfig: 345 52 50 [...] to [...] # chkconfig: 345 65 50 [...] Then we create the startup links: chkconfig --levels 235 mydns on We don't start MyDNS now because it must be configured first - this will be done automatically by the ISPConfig 3 installer later on. And it worked, now its showing online. But I haven't/couldn't set up a DNS zone yet. Did I do anything wrong?
Please dont install mydns because your setup uses bind. mydns is not used in new ispconfig setups anymore. The solution for your problem was to add a new dns zone in the dns module of the ispconfig 3 interface. To create a new dns zone, just enter the details for the zone like domain name, ip address and the primary and secondary dns server of that domain.
Can I use the same IP address that I used while setting up the webserver? Because the sites are going to be in an Intranet. And I only have the ip addresses of the primary & secondary DNS servers, what should I put as their name?
