name server config issue

Good Day,

I have an old cPanel and I want to replicate my zones on an other server for all the good reasons we know.

Running ISPConfig 3.0.5.3 on CentOS 6.4 X64.

Following this HowToForge: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-run-your-own-name-server-with-ispconfig-3-and-fast-hosts

If I create a Zone it works. I got to add a NS record ns1.mysite.com I have something that looks like a wine glass logo at the right end (not a red circle with hyphen in it to remove the record). I can't remove the NS record entry. I created it because I want it to be a nameserver. If I click it a popup comes for a second and disappears.

I can not create A records. Well I create them, click save and see nothing.

I did not get default zones created like the HowTo

I removed the zone, recreated it and my NS record was still there?

I changed the TLL, removed the zone, recreated it and the NS zone was still there with the new TLL.

Bind is running well (netstat -nltp).

Here's what was created in /var/named:
(you can see i tried to create records like www, coco - don't think I created mail)

$ less pri.hostinpowers.com.err
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA ns1.hostinpowers.com. sysop.hostinpowers.com. (
2014081202 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
7200 ; refresh, seconds
540 ; retry, seconds
604800 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds
;

coco 86400 A 209.172.54.6
hostinpowers.com. 3600 A 209.172.54.6
hostinpowers.com. 3600 MX 10 mail.hostinpowers.com.
hostinpowers.com. 3600 NS ns1.hostinpowers.com.
hostinpowers.com. 3600 NS ns2.hostinpowers.com.
mail 3600 A 209.172.54.6
www 3600 A 209.172.54.6


Thanks ahead for your time and responses,

I removed the zone in ISPConfig and the entry in /var/named (pri.hostinpowers.com.err), rcreated the zone in ISPConfig and same thing.

a NS recors is there with funny icon. I trien creatinf a test record wich I don't see?

less pri.hostinpowers.com.err
$TTL 3600
@ IN SOA ns1.hostinpowers.com. sysop.hostinpowers.com. (
2014081201 ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
7200 ; refresh, seconds
540 ; retry, seconds
604800 ; expire, seconds
86400 ) ; minimum, seconds
;

hostinpowers.com. 3600 A 209.172.54.6
hostinpowers.com. 3600 MX 10 mail.hostinpowers.com.
hostinpowers.com. 3600 NS ns1.hostinpowers.com.
hostinpowers.com. 3600 NS ns2.hostinpowers.com.
mail 3600 A 209.172.54.6
www 3600 A 209.172.54.6

I it because the Domain isn't created on the server? Don't think I need to and don't really want to?

Thanks,

JP

 

copied a zone from cpanel server, put it in a file then imported it in ISPConfig.

The zone seems to have created well (no .err in zone name). Same issue with Records tab. ns1 is there, I can't see the imported records and when I add a record and save it, i don't see it ithe GUI but eventually shows up in the server file (/var/named)

Last night, after the last post, I went on the main (original) name server and created the entries for ns1 and ns2 (NS and A records)

I imported the zone from a text file, went well but still same problem. It seems to be a GUI isssue. I don't see the different records in ISPConfig that I have in the zone text file.

Plus, if I start from scratch, I use the Wizard, it should create the needed basic records I see in the HowToForge which it doesn't?

I deleted the zone and reimported it once again.
-The zone file has successfully been imported!-

Had the same issue, deleted the ns1 record and everything came back up normal it seems. I'll manually import my other zones. Guess I'm good now.

--------
Now what's the best tut for synching 2 nameservers between 2 ISPConfig? I'd like ns2 on another box and have them sync (one way is still OK). Can ISPConfig do it or I have to writhe my own scripts (rsync?).


Thanks,

JP
