Hi, I'm New to DirectAdmin,

I've a dedicated server and I'm trying to set up DNS Zones
Following is My Config, please check it what is wrong in it:

24739849.jpg


the main domain isnt working it says :
"Network Error (dns_server_failure)

Your request could not be processed because an error occurred contacting the DNS server.
The DNS server may be temporarily unavailable, or there could be a network problem."

I tried restarting named service too. But No Use.
Please help me set it up

First off you shouldnt be hiding your real domain. No one is gonna be able to help you until you show your real domain. Second you have no name servers set for your tld. You only have nameservers set for your subdomains.

How to set my nameservers for tld?
 
You should have had a way at your domain registrar to register ns1 and ns2 as your nameservers to point them to an ip address.

Your going to need to add A records for ns1 and ns2 so they point to ip address because right now they do not.

So add the following:

A records:
Code: 
ns1.yourdomain.com. <ip here>
ns2.yourdomain.com. <ip here>

NS records:

Code: 
yourdomain.com. ns1.yourdomain.com.
yourdomain.com. ns2.yourdomain.com.

Make sure that you keep the trailing . where I showed them.

You do all of this in the dns management for your domain. But you should also look on your domain registrars website and see if you can register the nameservers in their control panel.
 
thanks scse



I've Made the changes please check it. I Already Registered the NameServers At My Registrar.

But its still not working. Please check the config, I know it might take sometime to propagate
 
The A records are right.

You need to add NS records still for the domain.

klikhosts.info. NS ns1.klikhosts.info.
klickhosts.info. NS ns2.klikhosts.info.
 
You still need to add NS records for the actual domain.
