hi Ive been dumped with the privalige of setting up our dedicated server, so i went for ispconfig after reading the forums here, as you guys make things sound easy! LOL how wrong was i! Ive setup centos 4.4, and installed ispconfig and it seems to be working ok, other then 3 of the services. SMTP-Server: POP3-Server: BIND-Server: are all offline, and i cant figure out why, im quessing ive set up something wrong with the dns. Could someone please have a look for me and point me in the right direction, i can provide access to box if needed. the domain im using as main host is www.agentcrush.net and i was trying to setup 2 name servers on box so i can point all my domains to the same box (clan sites ect) Many thanks for reading my post!
Did you follow exactly the instructions for the centos enistallation: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_centos_4.4
Yes i followed it as much as i could as i only have ssh/root access using putty, it did work fine untill i messed with adding more domains Thx
Ok, thats fine So we know better about which setup compenents we are talking. Please post the output of: netstat -tap What do you mean with 2 name servers? You can always run only 1 nameserver. Please make sure that you did not add a primary and secondary record for the same domain in ISPConfig, otherwise bind will not start. Your single bind server can act as primary and secondary ns for your domains without the need to add a primary and secondary record in ISPConfig.

Thanks TILL for your time
No good Well ive got no where so far, nothing seems to solve my incompetence, has any guru got 5 mins to login and check whats wrong, before i ask for a reinstall of centos and start over. Thanks JAmie
both ns1, and ns2.agentcrush.net are pingable from here. Also going to both IP's (http://IP) does show me the Apache default page. However, I do get an error on your DNS with DNSreport (DNS timeout)(http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=agentcrush.net) Is your DNS server running at the moment? Are you behind a firewall, and if so, did you open port 53, and forward it to the correct internal IP? ** EDIT ** Looking at DNSreport again, your DNS does reply! Looks like you are on the right track now..
Im getting confused now, till stated i can only have 1 name server per bind, I have 3 IPS on the box 2 of which are used for ns1 and ns2? can both ns1 and ns2 be on same box without issues? ive not actually done anything via bind just used webmin and ispconfig to make changes. Is there a way to remove ispconfig and all traces of any setup to save a re-install of the os? Then i could start again, i think i need a re-install
Yes. Please dont mix this up. You may point 100 subdomains like ns1 to ns100 to your server and it is still 1 name server per bind! Plesae dont use webmin to configure any service like bind, that is configured by ISPConfig too, or you will most likely mess up your setup. You can remove ISPConfig by running: /root/ispconfig/uninstall But this will only remove ISPConfig and will not "reset" your installation to a clean state. I think a clean reinstall of the system might be better.
