Hello I have a problem with DNS on ISPconfig 3.0.5.4p8 CentOS 6.7. I've set up domain a few months ago at GoDaddy, added my own DNS servers and added DNS entry on my primary DNS server (ISPconfig 3.0.5.4p8 CentOS 6.7). It works great but now I added A record because I want a subdomain of that domain and it wont update. I added it a few days ago but it still says that the site can not be reached. Please help.
Check your domain with intodns.com, there you can see if your dns server is the authoritive server of this domain. Then check the a-record locally on the shell of your server with: dig @localhost sub.yourdomain.com replace sub.yourdomain.com with the a-record incl. domain name.
Thank you Till for fast response. intodns.com says that my DNS servers are properly configured. I ran the command ant this is the result: Code: [root@vps ~]# dig @localhost sub.yourdomain.com ; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.37.rc1.el6_7.7 <<>> @localhost sub.yourdomain.com ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 45429 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;sub.yourdomain.com.

The question is if intodns says that the IP of your server is the dns server.Please check again, intodns will list you at the beginning the IP addresses of the authoritive dns servers. Are these IP addresses the IP's of your server? Ok, so this server is not authoritive for that subdomain yet. Please try a dig for the domain itself: dig @localhost yourdomain.com Then check if there are any jobs listed in the jobqueue in the ispconfig monitor.
Till, This is the screenshot from intodns.com And this is the result of dig @localhost yourdomain.com Code: [root@vps ~]# dig @localhost yourdomain.com ; <<>> DiG 9.8.2rc1-RedHat-9.8.2-0.37.rc1.el6_7.7 <<>> @localhost yourdomain.com ; (2 servers found) ;; global options: +cmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 46608 ;; flags: qr aa rd; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 2, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; WARNING: recursion requested but not available ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;yourdomain.com.

Please check the directory where the BIND zone files are stored (the location is most likely /etc/named or /etc/bind), there you should find a file named pri.yourdomain.com. Does this file exist or does it has the file ending .err ? If the file exists and has no .err ending, then open it with an editor and check if the missing a-record is listed inside.
Thank you Till for your response. Location is /var/named. I looked it up in DNS tab in System > Server Config. I am terribly, terribly sorry. Once I opened /var/named/pri.mydomain.com I realized that it was my mistake all along. I made a typo error and now, once I corrected it, everything works fine. Actually, everything worked fine the entire time. Once again, I am very sorry for taking your time and I'm extremely grateful for all the help you provided.
