Some questions

[webbyboy]

Hello,

i've just gotten a server with DA. for example. mydomain.com is my company domain name and i would like to setup my
ns servers to be the same server too. I've added the domain name into the DNS Administration in the admin level. But how am i going to edit the domain name stuffs? like adding mail accounts, subdomains, creating ftp accounts? The number 1 problem creating ns server inside, i've tried this method:

http://www.directadmin.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=130

but the problem is when i try to tick two IPs in the reseller panel nameservers section but it says
"Cannot execute your request

Details

is not a domain"

Anyone can help me on it? i'm quite confused actually.

The howto is not correct (it contains too much and too little information).

HOWTO Set up DNS Servers fot your DA Box:
===============================

Assuming your domain name is called example.com and your nameservers will be called ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com

1) pick any 2 IP's (IP1 and IP2) assigned to your server
2) ensure that you've registered your nameservers ns1.example.com (IP1) and ns2.example.com (IP2) with your registrar and that DNS for the domain name is delegated to your server (ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com)
3) add (if it does not exist already) example.com to an account in directadmin
4) go to the DNS settings of example.com
5) remove any existing NS lines and create 2 A records

NS1 IN A IP1
NS2 IN A IP2

6) now add 2 NS records pointing to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com
7) go to the admin control panel
8) go to administrator settings
9) change the nameservers to ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com
10) save and you're set.

You might have to wait for the DNS to propagate before you can actually use your system.
