We installed dedicated server and don't know how to configure NS servers for it.

Can anyone help?
 
ssh onto your box and point yourself to:

/usr/local/directadmin/data/admin/ips/

assuming you have your ips all setup, in there should be a list.

just edit the 2 ip text files you want as nameservers

you will see:

ns=

change to

ns=ns1.yourdomain.com

or whatever your name servers are named in your registrars control panel.
 
are you talking about making brand new name servers?

it is quite a long process.

first login to your registrar.

goto the dns/nameserver admin page

next enter your IPS that were assigned to your server and the ones you want to use for your name servers and the names you want.

i.e.

ns1.mydomain.com
24.66.77.22

ns2.mydomain.com
24.66.55.33

then once that is done,

you have to add your name servers to the dns in direct admin, just login as admin hit the dns admin and add them there.

after that edit your ip files like i said above.

give it 24-48 hours and everything should work.

Which one should I put
domen.com
server.domen.com

or some other?
 
they can be anything, you just have to own the domain and you have to setup the DNS on your box to show those.

most common is

ns1.domain.com

ns2.domain.com

but they can be anything as long as you created the proper DNS records.
 
In DNS_ADMIN we have:
domain.com
server.domain.com

What else do we need for NS to funciton?

Do we have to fill out something else:

Add Zone Domain Name -
IP Address
- Name Server 1 -
Name Server 2 -

Thanks guys.
