Nameservers Help .. I think !!!

[SimpleHuman]

Hello Everyone

I have never had my own server before, and up until now I have been using the Support Service from my host to get things done ..etc On this server of mine I have two websites [ mydomain.com ] and [ mydomain.info ]

But Yesterday I got an eMail from them telling me that I should learn how to work DirectAdmin myself, because they wouldn't help me anymore.

Here I am !! Trying to Learn about Direct Admin.

The last thing I asked from my Host's Support was for them to set me up my OWN Nameservers. Which are [ ns1.mydomain.info ] and [ ns2.mydomain.info ].

Now I want people to be directed to my site when they go to [ www.mydomain.com ]. So I went to my Registrar [ site5 ] and I edited the nameservers on there to [ ns1.mydomain.info ] and [ ns2.mydomain.info ].

I thought this would be it ! So I email support one last time telling them I had done that and is there anything else to do ?

They replied YES ! there is one more thing to do.

Did you also created the records for the domain mydomain.com on mydomain.info?

If you create them, then everything is correct.

I am not sure what the above means ? and this is why I am here in this forum to find out. What do the support guys mean by the above quote ?

How can I get this site of mine showing through a browser when people type the URL ?

I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Thank You.

Before you can use your own nameserver records you have to create the nameserver records at the registrar.

mydomain.com seems to be working ok but mydomain.info has no nameservers assigned to it.

hehe they were examples that I made up.

My actual Nameserver are [ ns1.ciwan.info ] and [ ns2.ciwan.info ].

What you have said above, doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain how I can get [ kurdsportal.com ] (my other site) to show when I type that URL into a browser.

At the moment [ kurdsportal.com ] does load, but it is pointing to the OLD SERVER. Not the New Dedicated Server that I own.

I have already contacted my old host and told them to close my account, they said it would take 3 days.

Please help.

Thanks

If the problem still occurs, then please tell us the IP#s of the nameservers on both servers so we can further investigate.

OK Something strange is happening. After I went and did this:

http://i43.tinypic.com/xgmgps.jpg

My new dedicated server shows for other users. But here on my own PC, I am still taken back to the old server when I click my URL which is [ www.kurdsportal.com ]

Here are the IPs you asked for, these are for my new dedicated server:

217.23.6.239
217.23.6.240
217.23.6.241

======================================

As for the old server I was on (shared hosting) I sent them an Email and told them to close my account.

What on earth is going on ?

Thank You.

jlasman@of1:~$ dig ciwan.info +short
217.23.6.239
$ dig kurdsportal.com +short
217.23.6.240
217.23.6.241
$

As you can see, everything appears to be pointing correctly.

Why do you have two separate A records for kurdsportal.com? It's unlikely that both of them point to the site (DirectAdmin doesn't do that), so perhaps one of them is pointing to a nonexsistent site or page?

ciwan.info comes up with a php error. kurdsportal.com comes up with a "shared IP" page, as do both 217.23.6.240 and 27.23.6.241.

It appears the problem is NOT DNS, but probably other settings.

Except that you probably shouldn't have two IP#s for kurdsportal.com.

OK

I went ahead and deleted one of the A records for kurdsportal.com.

Should all be working fine now ?

 

[SimpleHuman]

I guess not !! I just typed [ http://kurdsportal.com ] and I get the following:

This IP is being shared among many domains.

To view the domain you are looking for, simply enter the domain name in the location bar of your web browser.​

Even though I have deleted one of the A records. It is still saying it is on a shared IP.

Here is a screenshot of the DNS settings for [ ciwan.info ] >> http://i44.tinypic.com/x4f2fr.jpg

And here are the new DNS settings for [ kurdsportal.com ] >> http://i41.tinypic.com/2ezr6fc.jpg

Please help, I still can't access my site on the new server. I tried the /flushdns through cmd.exe and that didn't work either.

That means the ip in the zone file does not match the ip in the apache configuration.

well should just be the index.htm.. when i create an account the default page for user is that one.. so.. try to remove index.html and logo.jpg into our public_html page and add a test page

His default DirectAdmin page is not showing up. The 2 ip's do not match. He is using a shared ip that is not the server ip for his DNS but apache is not listening on that ip for that domain.
