Title kinda says it all. Tried to use multiserver and got my self ALL messed up. Any ideas on how to fix it? Read docs and if the solution is out there I don't know the keywords to find it.

Thanks,
Eddie
 
Also no default domain, but if you try to make it, it say's it's already there. The domain connects, example: xxx.com but it says "Apache is functioning normally". If memory serves, that means there is no virtual directory as Directadmin plases it's own index file in that?? (First time I've used Directadmin in a good while, like starting over.)

Thank You for replying! The below is a cut and past with the names edited from DNS Manage. range.com should be showing a default Directadmin index page if I recall correctly. All it says is "Apache is functioning normally". The uost.net does this. I hope I am clear enough, if not tell me what else I can post for you. PS: I hate Bind) Thanks for any assistance in advance!

server2.range.com No No

uost.net Yes Yes

Multiserver what?

And which default domain are you talking about. An admin domain?

If you quote, you will have to fix the quotes, or just answer without quotes, because this makes things difficult. Or post screenshots.

As for the multi server issue, I presume you refer to the multiserver setup for DNS right?
In that case, on the server where the domain is on, you will see local data and local mail both to YES.

This will -not- be the case on the other server, which will show Local data -> NO and Local Mail -> NO as shown.
Do remember that Multiserver is for DNS only and is not a redundancy option. So that domain will never show up on both servers.

Which also explains your initial issue. If you want to try to create the domain on the second server (from the multi server setup), then indeed you will get the notice "domain already exists" because it exists on the main server of the multiserver setup and the system sees this because of the DNS records present.

So you can create a domain only on 1 server, not on both.

Does that give you more insight?
 
It shows up on NEITHER. That is as a virtual domain. Neither shows a 'default domain either5. But I'll keep plugging. If I can't figure it all I can always start from scratch. Gonna hit the cmd line here and see what I can find to REALLY mess up the install in virtual host config. Neither are in production.

Thanks for trying!

I don't know then. I don't know what you mean with a default domain.
On installation always an existing domain is used. From there you can work. It's not required, but I always install the same domain for admin.
So if my hostname is server.domain1.com then in admin I activate domain1.com as main domain.
At this points in the DNS manager there are 2 domains. The server.domain1.com which has "local data no" and "local mail yes" and domain1.com which has both set to yes.

If that works good I setup the multiserver setup following this guide:

Multi-Server Setup | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com
and this:

General DNS | Directadmin Docs

DirectAdmin Knowledge Base
docs.directadmin.com

and ofcourse use the testing option to see if it works as it should, before I'm going to use the rewrite command.
