Nameserver error

You will need to register your nameservers with your domain registrar. How to do this depends on your registrar, have a look around their website or contact them if you can't find it.
 
I don't know what your registrar means, but mydomainname.com works perfectly; look here.

of course if that's not your domain name, then you're not giving us enough information to help you.

Why would you ask us to help you resolve an issue with a nameserver and not tell us the nameserver name?

We're not that good at guessing :) .

Thank for your reply.

I found out I need to register my ns with my registrar.
Now I register my ns with my registrar.
I think I still need to wait for few hour for ns propagation.
I would like to double confirm, anything else I need to register with my registrar?

FYI, my domain is surfdreamjob.com

Thank you.

If you registered the nameservers, there's nothing else you have to do.

I see. Thank you.

I think I had wait for 72 hours after I registered nameservers with registrar.
But it can't work yet. Anyway, I tried to contact with my registrar.
 
You may have to wait up to 72 hours.

For european top level domains the nameserver must be working before they'll add it.

Working?
Do you mean register nameservers with registrar?
 
I mean that for many top level domains you won't be allowed to register your nameservers at the registrar until they point to working nameservers, which are setup to supply DNS resoluiton for the domain.

Sorry for the confusion.

Reading the above posts, I have something similar:

I have a new installed server w DA. I am not used to work with DA, former I worked w Plesk. The new server was delivered w standard DA installed. I have now the problem that the nameservers are not recognized, so I cannot move any domain to this server.

The status now:
Logged in as admin, I went to user level and completed the setup for the admin domain which is 'easystar.nl'.

I completed the DNS as follows:
easystar.nl. A 85.92.138.212
ftp A 85.92.138.212
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A 85.92.138.212
pop A 85.92.138.212
s2a A 85.92.138.212
s2b A 85.92.138.213
easystar.nl. NS s2a.easystar.nl.
easystar.nl. NS s2b.easystar.nl.
mail MX 10
www.easystar.nl. CNAME easystar.nl.
easystar.nl. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4:85.92.138.212 ?all"

In the Admin settings I have the following:
Server's Hostname easystar.nl
NS1 s2a.easystar.nl
NS2 s2b.easystar.nl

Every new domain receives the correct ns's (see above).
I still have the current domain 'easystar.nl' pointed to my current server (ns1.easystar.nl/ns2.easystar.nl) and I cannot move it because the new nameservers arent accepted:
** Summary: REJECTED easystar.nl.
Some problems need to be fixed:
- Some of your name servers cannot be used (are broken).
** Full check report:
* primary name server "s2a.easystar.nl." [BROKEN]
Broken: name server "s2a.easystar.nl." not found in your zone.
* secondary name server "s2b.easystar.nl." [BROKEN]
Broken: name server "s2b.easystar.nl." not found in your zone.
#### fail

My server HAS connection to the outside world! I can successfully do nslookup's and pings without any problem.
If I do "nslookup s2a.easystar.nl", I receive "server can't find s2a.easystar.nl: NXDOMAIN".

What do I do wrong or what could be the problem?
I hope anybody can give me some tips. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

s2a and s2b do not resolve because the lookup is being done on:

ns1.easystar.nl. [213.193.212.30] [TTL=7200] [NL]
ns2.easystar.nl. [213.193.212.31] [TTL=7200] [NL]


so you have to add the 2 "A" records on those nameservers so that they resolve. Point them to your DA box. They are setup correctly on your DA machine, but it's not the authority of the domain, hence nobody asks it what they are.

Thanks John, but that's the problem (I think)...

Those nameservers are set to the current server I have but it is the meaning that I change (move all domains) to the other (new) server.

What do I have to do to move correctly? Currently the 'easystar.nl' domain is, indeed, set to nameservers as mentioned by you. But I like to move them to the new server.

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Ries
 
Just setup the old server to resolve the new nameservers.
eg: go onto the old server. Add 2 "A" records: s2a and s2b. Make them resolve to the IPs on the new server. Once the nameservers are valid, then you can move the domain to use the s2a and s2b on the new box.

John
 
Ok, thanks John, that sounds logic!

Will do that and report to you back how it went.

Thanks again

Ries
 
Well, thanks again John, indeed this did the job! Everything is working okidoki now.

:( -> :eek: -> :cool: -> :) :)
