Heloo there,

1. I have got my DA on a VPS, I am alloted 2 IPs with my VPs.
I created ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain with both of IP numbers at my domain registrar.

In the IP management one IP is showing as alotted to server and other is Free.

In the administrator settings I have filled my Hostname as host.mydomain.com and ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com

Now the problem is my domain is not resolving and in the dnsreports.com, My nameservers are showing many errors, They have no Glue, No A records and only 6 records are showed in dnsreport.com, whereas a correct domain shows many many records.

Please tell me the IP numbers i am alotted with VPS are to be entered in BIND setup to activate them as my nameservers or what should I do to start resolving my nameservers.


2. The second problem is whenever i create an account it shows this error: Error with system Quotas
sh: /usr/sbin/setquota: No such file or directory
What is the reason and how to rectify this.

3. I read in forums that subdomain takes 24 hours to start resolving without www prefix. Will this start resolving without www and never create problem.

Thanks please solve my problems
 
1. You also need to register your nameservers with your domain registrar and setup the nameservers through the Admin's reseller level on the Nameservers page.

2. It looks like your system does not have quota, you will need to install it.
this may be a good starting point:

Dear jmstacey,

Thanks for your reply

Please read my question carefully, In my second line of post i have clearly mantioned that "I created ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain with both of IP numbers at my domain registrar."

Could you please read my post before replying, I have also stated that i have filled ns1.mydomain.com and ns2.mydomain.com in Administrator settings.

Still my domain is not resolving. after like 100 hours of all settings. DA admins please help me out.
thanks

These issues are really difficult to troubleshoot without knowing the actual domain name. If you'll post the domain, it will likely take a few minutes to solve. Also, just saying that "I created x and y" does not make it clear that you established those hosts/ips as actual domain hosts and then used those hosts as the name servers for your domain--which was the point that Jon was making, I believe.

Click to expand...

Did you setup the nameservers under the reseller level like I said in my post? You have only mentioned Administrator settings.

;)
 
done everything

Yeah I have created at reseller level, I have also manually filled the ns values in internal directories of ///admin/directadmin/ips/ as mentioned in one of post in the forum.

In dnsstuff.com while looking at A records it shows that No A records exist for ns1.mydomain.com [Neg TTL=172800 seconds], This is same for all 4 of my NS records.

I have used the domain for creating 4 nameserver entries at registrar, for 2 DA servers i.e. 2 NS entries each.
But the domain used to make NS entries is not filled with any NS record to redirect it to any server. Is this any sort of problem ?
 
Is your IP# 64.94.117.95?

ns1.mydomain.com is pointing to 64.94.117.195.

If you don't mean mydomain.com, then please don't use it as an example.

The proper way to give an example is to use "example.com", but if you use that we won't be able to use any of the many available diagnostic tools to help you.

The bottom line is that you can't really get much meaningful help unless you're willing to disclose the domain name.

Anything else is just guessing.

I was just exploring for a cause for 'no glue' and 'No NS A records at nameservers' warnings from dnsreport...

Being so new to DA I don't understand much of it yet but I finally found that in: Reseller Level -> IP Management my pair of nameservers was there and "free" -- not really knowing what it meant I left it that way, until now.

When I checked both their checkboxes and clicked 'share selected' the warnings from dnsreport were gone. :rolleyes:

BTW: seems like this thread should be in the DNS area

Moved.

No Glue means there aren't proper records at the root servers.

If changing anything in DA appeared to change that you're probably missing something; DA can't change glue at all.

..coincidence and my ignorance allowing coincidence to prevail as the solution. ;)
