New install 3.1.6 DNS not working

Hi, I followed this instruction https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial...-9-stretch-apache-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3-1/ to installed the 3.1 on my Debian 9.1 KVM, and then upgraded to 3.1.6.

Then I followed this tutorial (I did part 2 first) but my DNS is not working.

So basically I changed my windows machine's DNS server to point to my newly created all in one ISPConfig server, and the dns still resolves to the old address. I searched high and low and I don't see a bind9 zone file is created anywhere on my server and I don't see any errors anywhere. And ISPConfig.log is empty. dig @localhost mydomain.com resolves with my old record from my old dns.

Anything to check?

thanks

 

I saw a .err file was generated in /etc/bind folder.

What does that mean? the domain is currently registered at godaddy and I didn't touch name server specified at godaddy, it points to my current host provider: ns1.otherhost.com, and ns2.otherhost.com

thanks

 

Thanks. Here you go:
(I replaced domain and IP with dummy ones)

Currently, I am using WHM/Cpanel on another host provider for all my sites. And I have a DNS server there, so I have instructed Godaddy that all my websites' DNS server is the one I have e.g. ns2.mycompany.com, and ns1.mycompany.com, so ideally I want to do the same thing with ISPConfig, for example, mydomain.com and myotherdomain.com's DNS is ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com. Is this doable?

Code:

root@server1:/etc/bind# cat pri.mydomain.com.err
$TTL        3600
@       IN      SOA     ns1.mydomain.com. support.mydomain.com. (
                        2017090201       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        7200              ; refresh, seconds
                        540              ; retry, seconds
                        604800              ; expire, seconds
                        3600 )            ; minimum, seconds
;

mydomain.com. 3600      TXT        "v=spf1 mx a ~all"
mydomain.com. 3600      MX    10   mail.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. 3600      NS        ns2.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. 3600      NS        ns1.mydomain.com.
mail 3600 A        111.222.333.444
www 3600 A        111.222.333.444
mydomain.com. 3600 A        111.222.333.444

 

Where do I do that in the ISPConfig? I did this using the wizard and didn't do it manually.

 

Currently, I am using WHM/Cpanel on another host provider for all my sites. And I have a DNS server there, so I have instructed Godaddy that all my websites' DNS server is the one I have e.g. ns2.mycompany.com, and ns1.mycompany.com, so ideally I want to do the same thing with ISPConfig, for example, mydomain.com and myotherdomain.com's DNS is ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com. Is this doable?

I guess I need to go to godaddy, add a glue record point ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com to the IP of my all in one server, and in the ISPConfig wizard, instead of using subdomians, I just use ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and is should work?

 

Oh, actually I don't need to go do go daddy to do that...
Use the wizard to create a zone file for mynewserverusingispconfig.com, then manually add two A records for ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com, then when I create my other sites's zone files, I just specify ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com as the name servers? Then change godaddy for all my sites to (including mynewserverusingispconfig.com) to use ns1.mynewserverusingispconfig.com and ns2.mynewserverusingispconfig.com as name servers?

 

Still .err file.

Code:

root@server1:/etc/bind# more pri.mydomain.com.err
$TTL        3600
@       IN      SOA     ns1.mydomain.com. support.mydomain.com. (
                        2017090302       ; serial, todays date + todays serial #
                        7200              ; refresh, seconds
                        540              ; retry, seconds
                        604800              ; expire, seconds
                        3600 )            ; minimum, seconds
;

mydomain.com. 3600      TXT        "v=spf1 mx a ~all"
mydomain.com. 3600      MX    10   mail.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. 3600      NS        ns2.mydomain.com.
mydomain.com. 3600      NS        ns1.mydomain.com.
mail 3600 A        111.222.333.444
www 3600 A        111.222.333.444
mydomain.com. 3600 A        111.222.333.444
ns1.mydomain.com 3600 A        111.222.333.444
ns2.mydomain.com 3600 A        111.222.333.444

 

Seems working!

A record hostname should be ns1 and ns2, not ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com?

 

Thank you soooooo much!

So the dig @localhost www.mydomain.com on my server echoes the correct information now
But one my windows it still shows old ip, so wait game? (but I already changed my windows' wireless IPv4 property to use my server's IP address as the IP address of the DNS server, exactly same as what I saw in the Youtube tutorial, here is the output:

Code:

So I found in the wireless adapter properties, IPv6 is enabled, so I disabled IPv6, nsloopup shows the new IP now (without specifying the dns server), but ping still shows old ip. Also if I disable IPv6, this site is not accessible, (www.howtoforge.com), browser flicks... and I had to enable Ipv6 again in order to post.

 

Thank you!
