How to Setup DNS (BIND) on server

hi everyone i facing some problems. İ can not use pureftpd and dns. they always failed. when i try to restart ftp the system says

"Job for pure-ftpd.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status pure-ftpd.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

and this is how looks like my controlpage.

please someone help me ! 

I think I've set up DNS correctly, but when I go to the registrar for my hosted domain broadey.co.uk I get an unhelpful message "error setting nameservers" when I try to set them to ns1.breit.co.uk and ns2.breit.co.uk (breit.co.uk is my CWP hosting domain name, which is on a PlanetHippo.co.uk VPS) at the registrar for that domain (which is 123-reg.co.uk).

If I do "nslookup broadey.co.uk ns1.breit.co.uk" then I get the right answer, so I must be doing something right.

The tutorials and other info are really poor.  The examples talk about setting your CWP nameservers to "n1.centos-webpanel.com" but that seems plain wrong - surely you need to be using the domain name of your CWP host (which in my case is webpanel.breit.co.uk, though I've added A records for ns1 and ns2 at the registrar for that domain).

I used CWP -> DNS Functions -> Edit Nameservers IPs to set them to ns1.breit.co.uk and ns2.breit.co.uk using the public IP address of my VPS.  In CWP -> DNS Function -> List DNS Zones this gives me zones for ns1.breit.co.uk and ns2.breit.co.uk.

I then created an account for broadey.co.uk.  This gives me a zone file broadey.co.uk.db containing

Code: [Select]

broadey.co.uk.      86400      IN      NS      ns1.breit.co.uk.
broadey.co.uk.      86400      IN      NS      ns2.breit.co.uk.
but in line with the instructions in this post I added

Code: [Select]

ns1     14400   IN      A       78.129.139.89
ns2     14400   IN      A       78.129.139.89
and restarted BIND.  None of this has helped.  I still can't set ns1.breit.co.uk as the nameserver for broadey.co.uk at the registrar 123-reg.co.uk.  What is it that the registrar is looking for that I am failing to provide?

Create a glue record for your ns.

simple restart service and run this command from shell to check error you get

Code: [Select]

journalctl -xe
also service status button should give you some additional info.

It's required that you have installed CentOS WebPanel and 2 IP addresses.


Settings
- DNS Functions --> Edit NameServers IPs
Add here your subdomains you want to use for NameServers and one IP for each nameserver eg.
ns1.centos-webpanel.com --> 185.4.149.83
ns1.centos-webpanel.com --> 185.4.149.90

- Your Main Domain or Subdomains need's to have A record to this server IPs

How to set A Records for Name Servers
1. Create new account on the server with domain name which you will use for nameservers (example: test.com)
2. Edit DNS zone for this domain go to DNS Functions --> List DNS Zones and click on your domain
3. Add records for your nameservers at end of the file:

ns1     14400   IN      A       NS1_SERVER IP
ns2     14400   IN      A       NS2_SERVER IP

example:

ns1     14400   IN      A       120.130.110.122
ns2     14400   IN      A       120.130.110.123
this will create nameservers: ns1.test.com and ns2.test.com

- Setup Shared IP
WebPanel Settings --> WebPanel Settings --> Shared IP


CASE 1
If you have only A record for main domain set to one IP than you need to make new account on this server and add in DNS records subdomains.

CASE 2
If you have at yours domain register set domain records for each subdomain to IP than you are ready to go and you can start adding DNS zones or creating accounts.

Changing DNS records can take up to 24 hours.

For some domain registers you will need to have your server hostname to have A record to NS1 IP:
eg.  myhostname.centos-webpanel.com --> 185.4.149.83

START DNS (BIND) server
go to Service Config --> Chkconfig manager and click "ON" for named service.
now go to index page and start BIND DNS Server by clicking Start


Don't forget that the nameservers must be registered with your domain registrar.

When i use my nameservers  on godaddy they says

If yes, then you are ok. If no - you have problem.

I faced the same BIND DNS Server Error. But stopping the service and then starting again fixed it. Altough the DNS Server running but my custom nameservers are still not working.

In Latest version of CWP, the hostname url can't accessible via web even i create manually A records and there is no dns error , i have checked dns status using
# systemctl status named

It is okay , So how do i resolve the issue . Suppose your parent domain is datahead.biz and required records is missing on   /etc/named.conf

Below the line is missing :
66 // zone datahead.biz
67 zone "datahead.biz" {type master; file "/var/named/datahead.biz.db";};
68 // zone_end datahead.biz

Thank you so much for this great tutorial, it worked for me.

Hi, sorry for asking. I’m a newbie and I forgot to add name servers. But if I create name servers after I create user account. Can I add the new name servers afterwards now to the user account? It looks like I can open the settings for the user account, but will that work?

yes you need to change some DNS entries like ns of domains after you changed the name servers.

But after I have set new DNS and I’m trying to point a domain from an other domain provider to my server to this DNS, that doesn’t working.

unfortunately i don't know what you're doing and what is wrong, if you're unable to find the issue it is better to contact our support service.
