Nameservers + SOA record - SuperBoss16v - 07-05-2011 05:59 PM
Hi All
I recently set up an ISP-CP server and configured all my domains + extra dns records i needed, all seems to be working fine, the problem is when i try to register the domain i created i get the following reply:
"The SOA record for <domain> at <IP> can not be retreived.
!
! The most common reasons for this is that the Nameserver is not currently ! reachable or the Nameserver has not been configured for this domain.
!
ERROR: No valid nameservers found - rejecting request."
How do i configure the SOA record on my ISP-CP server?
Thx

The SOA record is configured by default for any domain that you create using ispcp (it's the stuff at the beggining of the zone if you look at the zone file directly). Therefore, I'm afraid that your question does not make much sense...
What do you get if you try to run (from your machine):
Code:
host -tSOA yourdomain.tld ip.of.your.serverRE: Nameservers + SOA record - SuperBoss16v - 07-05-2011 07:30 PM
Hi kilburn
Thx for the reply, i get the following when running the command:
host -tSOA yourdomain.tld ip.of.your.server
Host mydomain.tld not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
What am I missing then? Do I have to specify any other type of dns zone's?

This is quite wierd. Does the file /var/cache/bind/yourdomain.tld.db exist? What are their contents?
If it does not exist... are you sure that you have added the domain as a *normal* domain inside ispcp (using admin.yourdomain.tld as the panels' hostname is not enough for ispcp to take control of yourdomain.tld)?
RE: Nameservers + SOA record - SuperBoss16v - 07-05-2011 07:52 PM
There is nothing in /var/cache/bind
I added the domain as a reseller that i created, yes its a normal domain.
the .db files do exist in:
/etc/ispcp/bind/working/
and
/etc/bind/

First of all, notice that only the latest LTS release (10.04) is supported by ispcp, so you are probably going to run into further troubles.
That said, restart bind and check the syslog file to see if named complains about missing zone files. My guess is that bind looks for the zones on one directory, whereas the panel is setup to put the zones in another one.
If this is the case, you should move the zones to the correct location and then update /etc/ispcp/ispcp.conf so that any new/modified zones are placed in the correct location (variable BIND_DB_DIR).
