So I followed the simple setup guide for Bind/Apache on Centos as posted here -> http://www.howtoforge.com/creating-your-own-webserver-with-bind-and-apache-centos5. BIND is setup with chroot as well, I made the symlinks as recommended and double checked them a few times. I got everything configured per the tutorial... I think, but when I try and set my domain's (psychpdx.com) name servers to my newly created DNS server I get this error: "Unable to update nameservers: Nameserver [ns2.psychpdx.com] doesn't exist at the registry " A little more about my setup that may be the cause of the problem. I have Quest DSL and the servers IP address is set to my local network address 192.192.0.127, I opened the ports on the DSL modem/router to allow in traffic for DNS, SSH, FTP, and web(port 80). I can SSH to my server in from outside my local network to the IP address quest gives me so opening those ports seems to direct traffic where it should. I am not sure if that is what I should be setting in my zone file for an ip, currently I have the internal network IP's? Here is my zone file per my first many tries, oh and named does start without complaining: $TTL 14400 @ 86400 IN SOA ns1.psychpdx.com. [email protected]. ( 2008021501 ; serial, todays date+todays 86400 ; refresh, seconds 7200 ; retry, seconds 3600000 ; expire, seconds 86400 ) ; minimum, seconds psychpdx. 86400 IN NS ns1.psychpdx.com. psychpdx. 86400 IN NS ns2.psychpdx.com. ns1 IN A 192.192.0.127 ns2 IN A 192.192.0.127 website.com. IN A 192.192.0.127 localhost.website.com. IN A 127.0.0.1 psychpdx.com. IN MX 0 psychpdx.com. mail IN CNAME psychpdx.com. www IN CNAME psychpdx.com. ftp IN A 192.192.0.127 Any ideas where to start troubleshooting this? Sorry if this is super basic but I am pretty new to this stuff. Cheers! This site is amazing by the way
I think I figured out my problem, I need to register my domain name at my registrar as a name server, which makes sense with the error. Like I said I am new here
