dns 53 port not open

Did it work before? Or is this a clean install?

If its a clean install: try an server wipe and install again with running the preinstall commands first. https://help.directadmin.com/item.php?id=354
If it worked before: check your csf logs for port 53 getting blocked and any error log that might contain info for named.
 
its clean install.
everytime i use preinstall commands
i check csf logs but i dont see any named or port 53 error.

Then I think named is not yet used/on?
Since nothing is added in the panel that needs named, so it might just be off until its needed (When the first domain get added.)
So could you add a domain and try again to verify or bust this idea?
 
2 domain added
named working
service named status working well
not any error

i try ./build all d
still same problem

lol

i think i need wipe and reinstall vds

Broken installs are rare but not unheard of. And just to be safe/sure: did you run the update command for your OS after installing the OS so all packages are the latest for your OS?
 
yes i do all times
os update
preinstall commands
and reboot and than install directadmin
 
How exactly did you install directadmin? With ./setup.sh or ./setup.sh auto?

Anyway, reinstalling Directadmin will not open port 53 for you.

Check your firewall. If you used the auto command, csf should be installed and running.

Try telnetting to your nameservers locally to port 53 like this.
telnet ns1.domain.com 53
if that works, it works locally.

Check your named.conf or compare it with mine which you can find here:

Anyway, don't forget to stop and disable firewalld first. Then restart csf/lfd.
 
telnet ns1.domain.com 53
domain.com (directadmin.com example) working

new install
csf installed
centos 7
still same error.

i dont understand problem....

named.conf same as your config.


wget -qO- portquiz.net:53
Port 53 test successful!
Your IP: 45.10.xxx.xxx

I can have a look for you if you want.
You can provide me credentials via pm. I need DA and root access (ssh) so I can check and test the configurationo. If you want.
