Hi again,
I setup my main vps server as the dns master and my second vps as the slave. The slave picks up my main domain with no problem. But when I try to add a second domain, I get this error:
Re-starting DNS server .. .. failed : Failed to start BIND : Starting named: Error in named configuration: zone localhost.localdomain/IN: loaded serial 0 zone localhost/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 1.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.0.ip6.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 1.0.0.127.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 zone 0.in-addr.arpa/IN: loaded serial 0 /var/named/viperstorm.net.hosts:1: no TTL specified; using SOA MINTTL instead zone viperstorm.net/IN: loaded serial 2008033021 zone 3qual.com/IN: has no NS records zone 3qual.com/IN: not loaded due to errors. _default/3qual.com/IN: bad zone [FAILED]
Any idea what could have caused that error or how to fix it?
Thanks again.
Howdy,
Could you post the contents of your " /var/named/viperstorm.net.hosts" file?

Hi
I've got it working, I forgot to add a 'cluster server for the slave'. After adding that, it seems to be working. But when I check with intodns I get 1 small error:
ERROR: One or more of the nameservers listed at the parent servers are not listed as NS records at your nameservers. The problem NS records are:
Also, it says there is no glue
Do you still need me to post my viperstorm.net.hosts file? I second domain I added was 3qual.co.uk
Thanks
Hi,
The error you are seeing is because in your zone for "3qual.co.uk", it only lists "ns2.viperstorm.net" where as at the registrar level it also lists "ns1.viperstorm.net".
Add this NS record, and within a few hours it should correct itself.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I've manually added ns1.* to the zone and appears to fix the problem. Is there anyway to fix this, so it happens automatically or do I have to add the zone for each domain I add? is that a bug? or have I made a booboo somewhere?
Also, I am seeing 'no glue'. So I added another .com domain and I'm not getting any 'no glue' errors. So I'm guessing its a co.uk thing, that I read about somewhere.
Thanks
Hi,
Yes, you can set it up on:
Virtualmin > System Settings > Server Templates > Default Settings > BIND DNS domainSee the attached screenshot.

hi again,
Perfect, got that part working nicely. I have got another small issue:
If I type www dot 3qual dot net into my browser, I get 403 error, but when I add the 's' to the h t t p, it works perfectly.
My main domain works perfectly. if I type w w w domain, it works, also, w w w s domain works too. Its the same for all my domains, that I have added.
Any ideas
Thanks
Kevin
Kevin,
Upload a file called "index.html", "index.htm" or "index.php" and let me know if you still see the 403 error. The odds are it's simply because when you create a domain you don't have one of those files inside the "public_html" directory by default.

Hi TP,
Many thanks for your reply. I found it out that I got a 403 error, rather than the an empty page with the cgi folder, that I have seen before. Anyway, I have now uploaded a index page and working perfectly.
Is there anything I need tick or untick, to create an index page by default?
Thanks again.
Kevin
Kevin,
You could add a file to the "/etc/skel" directory, so for example to create a default "index.html" page for every domain, you'd create "/etc/public_html/index.html".
*** often the "skel" directory is empty, so you'd need to create the directory "public_html" within the "skel" folder first, then upload the "index.html" inside the "public_html" folder. ***
When Virtualmin creates a new domain, it'd read the "/etc/skel" directory for any folders and/or files to be added to the "home directory" of the user.
If you run into any problems please feel free to post or email me.

Peter Knowles
