Server Name & Initial NameServers

[bonnmac]

I keep trying to change the hostname and the initial nameservers in admin settings but they won't change.

My main domain crediblehost.com has my nameservers ns5.crediblehost.com & ns6.crediblehost.com

Server was setup using crediblehost.net and ns1.crediblehost.net & ns2.crediblehost.net

I want to make servername genesis.crediblehost.net and nameservers ns5.crediblehost.com & ns6.crediblehost.com but DA refuses to change them.

Any ideas? Thanks.

Hello,

I've helped you through chat, but for anyone else who is having the same issue:

DirectAdmin stores the nameserver stored in the directadmin.conf file in memory. When the file is written, DirectAdmin has to be restarted in order to load the new values, which should be automatic.

Thanks John for your help. You know theres one thing I haven't done yet and that is restart DA so I guess I'll do that now.

Also, adding nameservers other than ns1 and ns2 requires some manual file editing at the momment. I've added the ability to change them to values other than ns1 and ns2 to the todo list, and should be available in the next release, about a week or so.
