Registering Name Servers

[theleetech]

Hello,
i m new to direct admin, before i only use Cpanel and WHM,
i purchased a VPS which comes with DA, they installed DA for me,
later i reinstall os and re install directadmin also, DA installed successfully,
but I'm too much confused with DNS,
i have one domain for my VPS, www.therealguide.org
domain is registered with www.luckyregistrar.com
i want to set my nameservers as
ns1.therealguide.org and ns2.therealguide.org
How to do it? plz help me.

but it seems different.

luckyregistrar.com doesn't exist; perhaps you've spelled it wrong.

Your domain name, therealguide.org, is using these nameservers:

ns39.domaincontrol.com
ns40.domaincontrol.com

which shows that the registration provider you used is a reseller of GoDaddy.

The first step to take is to log onto the account at your registration provider you used for your domain name, and register ns1.therealguide.org and ns2.therealguide.org as nameservers, using the IP#s given you by your VPS provider. Once that's done, assign those nameservers to your domain. Instructions for doing both must come from your registration provider's helpdesk.

You may need to wait as long as three days once you've done that but usually everything just works in a matter of an hour or so.

If after three days you still don't see your domain name active on your server, then check your dns here (intodns.com). If that doesn't help you figure out any remaining problems, then post again here, with a link to the intoDNS page you used to check.

hello,
thanks for your reply. but i m still hanging in middle.
please help me and i m really sorry if my questions are so nonsense.
here is the the output link what your said to do
http://www.intodns.com/therealguide.org

1. i did not find any place to register my dns at my registrar / domain control panel. here is the exact link from where i purchase my domain http://www.luckyregister.com/
when i logged in to my domain manager i did not find such place to register my dns (see screenshot-1 attached)

2. when i try to change / set nameserver it says Nameserver are not registered (see screenshot-2)

3. in my domain manager (at left bottom) there is a section host summery.
(screenshot-3)
i register my host there before 3 or 4 days and i received an email from registrar that host server1.therealguide.org successfully added

but still i m unable to change / register nameservers and it still says nameserver not registered

please help me what to do now and how to do?

It appears you've got it fixed; your domain name is now pointing to a standard DirectAdmin placeholder parking page, and IntoDNS now shows everything correct except that you're using the same machine for both ns1 and ns2, and that your upstream provider hasn't set up your rDNS.

The former isn't really good; you should have a slave DNS service elsewhere so your two DNS servers are on different networks.

The latter is critical; without proper rDNS you may have trouble getting your email accepted by many mail servers. You should discuss this with the provider from whom you get your upstream connectivity.

Reverse MX A records (PTR)

hello,
hi how are you, hope you will be fine.
i have reinstalled every thing on my vps, OS, DA, installtron etc.
i registered my nameserver and change setting in DA as directed at http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?t=26937

now when i open www.therealguide.org it seems fine and shows DA defalut page.

but there are some issues which i can't understand. please help

1. resolve.conf

here is my resolve.conf
####################################
# resolv.conf
# Can only have three servers active
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
####################################

when i change it to
####################################
# resolv.conf
# Can only have three servers active
nameserver 173.0.54.77
nameserver 173.0.54.78
####################################

and save the change, it was saved without any problem, but when i restart vps it showing again 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 as namersers and my change was not there. i repeat it but no avail.

2. here is my named.conf please take a look is this correct???

############start named.conf####################

I have no idea why this is happening. Are you sure the changes are saved? To be sure, after you save the file, log in again (without logging out) thrugh the shell, and check the file.

If all else fails contact your VPS provider; they may be sharing this file among multiple VPS instances; it may be on a shared partition.

2. here is my named.conf please take a look is this correct???

I make it a habit of not spending time reading and analyzing other people's configurations. I don't know enough about your system and what you're trying to accomplish. Perhaps someone else will respond.

They must have done it; the error no longer appears.
